Summary


When it rains, it pours. Guide your bees back to their hive to stay out of the weather! Visit flowers to get some bee reinforcement, and bring as many bees back home while avoiding the massive dangers of the tiny bee world.

"According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyways. Because bees don't care what humans think is impossible." - Bee Movie (2007)

This game is so beautiful. I love the pixel art and the minimal use of colors. The piano in combination with the rain in the background is so relaxing.

Everything fits so well together and feels very very good!

Had a lot of fun playing it! One of my favourite games! :)

Beautiful game!

Stunning visuals, relaxing music, interesting and challenging gameplay, this game has it all! This almost felt like a finished game. The movement feel natural an the bee animation is simple but incredibly cute. New mechanics are introduced at a good pace, making a tutorial meaningless without making the game too slow. The frogs are a bit to easy to avoid but apart from that truly a great game!

10/10 ign

My heart. That sad bee pic. </3

I made it to the end of the level with exactly one bee! Really beautiful game. Cute visuals. Nice music. Good job on starting it off simple and then slowly dialing up the difficulty with the drops and frogs.

Woh, Awesome music, art, and game concept. Very difficult, but I&#039;m fine with it.

What a beautiful and atmospheric game, and also same time fun to play! I really loved the visuals, only complaint is that you could have made a background with similar pixel style instead of the blurred one. It kinda sticks out now as other assets don’t even have anti aliasing. The music is superb. So is the gameplay and controls. Could be fun if you got some kind of statistics screen in the end telling how many bees you collected and how many died during the trip etc. Overall amazing job!

This game is flawless. Congratulations, the best game I played so far this LD. It&#039;s a shame you are not rating/getting more ratings.. meaning more people would play this great game.

What a great entry! Really enjoyed this. Everything fit together very well.

well done, The facts on the screen when you don&#039;t make it is a nice touch.
Photon19 May 2017, 17:47
Baaaw, I feel so bad when I let some bees get hit. X-(

Beautiful game, great audio, and a control scheme that stays sharp enough that the swarming mechanic doesn&#039;t feel overly awkward. Hazard variation kept things fresh too. Very very nice!

This is a really, really great entry. The graphics are amazing, the audio is nice and athmospheric, and the game is really simple to understand but still challenging. I can&#039;t think of any criticisms. Great job!

Its great! Great mood, great atmosphere.

But wheres the frogs?? I see a frog in the thumbnail, and some people talk about frogs in their comments, but I didn&#039;t see a single frog when I played!
Hamdan22 May 2017, 01:11
@frankiesmileshow you must&#039;ve gotten a very rare seed then, try playing again and you should see some frogs :)
JoshYKC23 May 2017, 10:14
Really cute game, I enjoyed playing this little gem. The frog was a complete surprise when I first encounter them. Really great =).

This was really solid. I could certainly see this getting expanded into a game where you explore multiple different level environments. Like a Spring Snowstorm or maybe a tornado or some such. Its got a really nice setting that&#039;s both cartoony and darkly contrasted. Nice work. I can see why this did so well.

Simple and elegant. I grew attached to the little critters and I felt sorry for the ones falling. Only managed to finish on the second try.

I grabbed the source from github and it&#039;s really clean and elegant, well done!
