You are the Queen Bee of the swarm. But wasps have just destroyed your hive. Gather you soldiers and workers, its time to take BEEvenge on your enemies!
Made in GM:Studio with a team of 3 people (Programmer, Artist, Musician).
My (and my friends') first Ludum entry ever. Made in staggered increments of time over the course of the weekend due to everyone's time constraints and prior obligations. I think it came out really well though (minus the level design, kinda ran out of time for that).
That was pretty fun. I liked having to juggle the two different group of bees. The fact that newly spawned bees follow you arrow also made for an interesting mechanic, and helped me harvest quicker. The graphics and sounds were enjoyable as well.
Concept and overall gameplay are nice but, the how to play screen feels a little bit cluttered and I got a little bit lost in information there. Whenever I see something with a little bit too much info, I tend to skip, even if crucial information about gameplay is present.
I liked the soundtrack, it remembered me of some games I used to play on the SNES and GB and it sets up a nice mood during gameplay.
The art is simple but well made and thought, the bees are cute and I like the Queen Bee's expression when commanding the soldier bees.
Absolutely fantastic. I felt a bit cheated when I lost when I ran out of workers despite being able to make tons. If I'd know that, I would have been mashing that button sooner. Other than that, it was an incredibly enjoyable experience. Great work.
I'll be trying to get a Mac version up soon (if that's allowed anyway). Never actually used the GM Mac exporter before so I'm not sure if I'll be successful with it yet.
At first I was pretty terrified with "how to play" screen, but it went better than expected :D Pretty interesting concept, but balance is pretty strange imo. You could just keep your workers behind and spawn warrior bees all the way. Anyway, I enjoyed playing your game!

Love the Menu Screen. Music is fantastic.
omg, screen number 2. That's way too much info.
Oh, its a hoard control strategy game. That's cool actually.
I don't know who did the art, but I like it.
But soldiers workers looks too similar, it is hard to tell

P.S. Congratulations on your first Ludum Dare! ^^
