A little adventure game about the flora and fauna in my garden.
Tips: - Use the arrow keys to move, F for fullscreen, ESC to quit. - You can play as 4 different life forms (not just a bee!) - The lizard can't turn in-place (by design). You have to turn while running.

The idea of using real-world photographs in this context is cool, very unique. Makes for a big game file though. Not much in the way of gameplay though, and I think you'll struggle to get interest from game players/developers with a topic like that. You did create that bee sprite during the 48 hours, right? Nice that you used sound, but a single continuous buzzing sound adds little and gets annoying fast.
As much as I like the idea of using real world photos to build the universe of your game, I don't see how it really relates to the Connecting Worlds theme. I flew around until I found the Lizard, but then I was not able to move up & down anymore with him, so I had to stop there, I'm guessing it's a bug.
I got bored after 5 minutes of flying around. Like the other people have said, it's a really cool idea to use connecting photographs as the backdrop, but in the time I played I reached literally no gameplay.
Cute! I the lo-fi style of putting iconic on top of photographs; it plays well with the sound effects to produce a unique gameworld. I also think the circle of life metaphor is pretty clever and ties in well with the theme :D
Very nice. I loved to explore your garden and change my form. Good idea and well implemented. Also cool and fitting sounds. I don't really see the theme in this game.
That was freaking scary and disgusting, but I like the graphics and how it shows the cycle of life. BTW: if your garden is really like this, I will stay away from your house! ;)
