YOU HAVE A GUN THAT SHOOTS BEES why are you still here!?
Ok fine,
Collect nectar from flowers to acquire vital upgrades. Defend the central hive from invading bears after your delicious honey. Shoot bears with bees.
Move around with WSAD/Arrows, click the mouse to fire bees.
HAVE FUN.
I came up with a bunch of serious ideas then asked myself why not just make a game where you have a gun that shoots bees. So uh. I did that. Very refreshing to make a really silly game for once that's not really trying to do anything clever and is just stupid and fun. Also Bee puns.
PRO TIPS: *There's a boss at Wave 20, after wave 20 the game gets exponentially harder with each passing wave until you're overwhelmed. *You can explore the map to find big sources of nectar but it's very risky, learn when the best times are to hunt for nectar! *You can't shoot through flowers and bees get distracted by it which affects your aim, so collect them quickly whenever possible! *Watch the little ones. *BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ
Shaun again what an amazing game. I was just hoping for some soft background music? But over all it is a great game, maybe you can make a tutorial on when the bees collide with the bears the sprite change? This is why you are the legendary Shaun Spalding the game king!
Interesting game, nice simple wave based shooter. I would have liked to see an indicator in the direction of bears since one time I lost by a bear off-screen getting to my hive. Some music would have been a nice touch as well. Though I do like the sound effects otherwise.
Very lovely game! I love the clear graphics and the game play yet simple is extremely addicting and has a layer of complex strategy. The sound effects were cute and added to the over all humor. Would of liked some music to go along with the frantic bee shooting but it's nothing major.
Overall very solid and polished game, one the bests I've seen this LD! :)
Wonderful game! Graphics, sound, gameplay, humor and fun - all in this beeloved game! Never beefore have I played such a funny top down shooter - beeautifully done! I will definitely look at your source code and bee wondering how you did all this! Great work - unfortunately I couldn't follow your stream cause I was too beesy finishing my own game ;-)
+ I really liked the cartoony art style. - No music :( a little summery tune would have been awesome. + Controls are spot on in my opinion, felt very comfortable straight away. - Feel dead bears need to be more destinct, lost a few times to the little bears that were a struggle to see when the bear carcasses had piled up. + Feel of the game is great, from little bits of polish like the screen shake and the growing ammo bee hive thingy. - Wasn't sure what the honey did at first. + Full game loop. - Think a suttle way to indicate the bears health would help. Not really thinking a health bar but somthing "suttle" lol.
Most of the negatives are small and most likely down to just running out of time. One of the stronger compo games I've played.
p.s. feel like it was missing somthing sweet and explosive . . . perhaps honey grenades ;)
Nice game, sweet visuals and super good gamefeel and mechanics ! too many bees ... I've reached wave 17 and could not make it again since :)
First i thought i would be childish when i saw screenshots but killing bears (beers?) families brings the fun... I've just read there is a boss at 20th wave, I want to see this i may try again...
Great overal I'm nota big fan of sfx with mouth but I must say your sfx are very good, I'm not getting sick of them even after 6-7 plays. The difficulty curve is also nicely done. congrats

The audio sometimes glitches and all I could here was buzzing, which was creepy, but not game breaking.
And great work's very fun!
Question - How do you make a game like this if you were to only use "Drag and Drop" ;) - A fan
I really like the game :P
