=== BEE GONE === A strange beehive has appeared in your backyard! How dare it! Destroy it by launching yourself at high velocities at the perpetrator. Bee careful, however! Those bees might sting!
=== CONTROLS === - Click the circle and drag to launch yourself an enemies! - That's it, really.
=== INSTALLATION === [Windows] Located in the windows folder. Just start "bee-gone.exe". Should "Just Work". If not, let me know.
[Mac] Check out the file bee-gone-mac.zip. No idea how that works. Mac probably has a way to install zipped apps or something. I followed the instructions, I hope you know how to use the end result. I'd like some feedback if it did or did not work.
[Linux] I hate to ask this, but to make it run on Linux you need to install some stuff. First, add the PPA listed on the official Love2D site (https://love2d.org/). Then, "sudo apt-get install love". After Love2D has been installed you can run the game by executing "love bee-gone.love". Enjoy!
[Web] Visit http://www.plusminos.nl/ld35 to play the game! Let the game load for a few seconds first, it's somewhat slow! Once it's done loading something will be visible immediately.

Lovely mechanic - once you get to grips with it, it feels really intuitive and satisfying. I played this for far longer than I'd expected and had a lot of fun. Only one very tiny suggestion - I would have liked the dead bees to look 'deader' somehow. :)
This is great, the bees look very nice too. The mechanic is fun and works very well, the objective is so close too, your really feel like you are close to getting there.
A bit more tolerance on the click zone would have been nice, clicking slightly away from the circle and not activating the shot can be a bit frustrating.
With the addition of a score counter this could be a great arcadey game. Although bees piling up on the ground is also quite a satisfying "score" already :)
Slowmotion was very good used and very fun to watch. Otherwise nicely done game, you can add more levels or some kind of goal other than just killing bees in numbers. Hovewer killing bees in numbers is also fun :-D

Really like the slow motion part when pulling the ball
Had some trouble clicking on the right place, good game through.
Awesome work - one of my favourites so far!
Thanks for the great comments everyone!
