Tiny pseudo 3D game, made in (and with, of course) Love that tells about suicidal bee that flies throught space and suffers.
UPD: Made a SFX EXE archive, so, you can rate the game faster, just download and run, no unpacking.

The bee sprite is very pretty.

Cool game, good graphics and sad that you had opted out from the "fun" statistics as I thought it was fun. :) Good luck with the game and Merry Christmas!

Did you opted out from the fun-category by accident? Interesting mood, while I'm not sure "what to do" here :D

Well that was different. Cleanly executed. Good work

Oh my god. It's real 3D. I kneel before your skills. Great art, great game!

Super cute game! The audio and the graphics really play well together.

Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons!

Really good mood, just wish there was more gameplay. It's like SPACE DESERT BUS (DESERT BEE?)

I think that I'll have more experience with pseudo-3D like this after the end of compo.

I can't tell - am I supposed to avoid the rocks and prolong the bee's suffering or crash into them to take the easy way out?
It's like, deep and stuff :)

Very well done pseudo-3D effect. I wish there was some more engaging elements to the gameplay. It's a visual treat, though, so I enjoyed it.

Is this a metaphor for the human race? How long will we suffer until we run out of time? Excellent graphics, well done!

Really love the atmosphere of it. Even though really simple gameplay-wise, it fit the theme and the topic just too well. Nicely done!

Really cool! I wonder if getting a higher or a lower time is better...!

I suffered for 57 seconds, and really enjoyed myself. I liked the spacey synths and simple but effective pixels. Sprite 3D or no, it looked good. Some perspective on the bee sprite, and maybe some variety in collectables would have been a nice move... maybe even something that gets in the way or attacks? Space Wasps? Space Bears?

Nice work on your entry, and thank you for sharing it!

Beautiful starfield. I don't know what you meant the game to be, but your execution was graceful.

This is a short but very interesting experience you provided here. The realization is just neat, the nice stars field, the smooth controls, the cute bee... Plus the ending is quite touching. My only complaint would be that it's a bit hard to evaluate distance with honey and something you just can't reach it. But maybe that's part of the design ^^ Well done anyway.

Nice zen like game. The graphics and audio really add to the experience. Nice work.

This game is actually quite sad. Given there is no end to the suffering (apart from heaven) I don't know if I ever want to play it again. If I could at least be given hope that I can save the bee in some way, like a space ship in the far distance, then I would probably play for a loong time. Oh yeah, stereoscopic 3D and like a joystick would have been kick ass. Really nice little work!
