It is the year 21XX. Most of Earth's ecosystems have been destroyed. Most plants and animals are gone.

However, one lone swarm of bees is holding out against the harsh post-collapse environment and the alien insects that are now attempting to gain control over their territory and wipe them out for good.

To protect their hive they'll need to be ready to put their own lives on the line.

Try to keep the hive parts from being destroyed by moving the bees and blocking projectiles with their bodies.

They aren't invincible though! There are ways of regenerating troops:

- After the end of a wave, all living bees will have their health restored fully
- When a hive part is destroyed, a new bee will hatch from the ruins

Watch out for green, explosive shot-lobbing foes! Their projectiles will blow up all hive parts and bees in a large area, killing off the spawn of the former instantly. Try to block these shots as they come down.

The game is fun. We get bored pretty quickly but it still enjoyable for the first ten minutes.

I really like the concept! I love games where you have to multitask like this (Pikmin), but I did have some trouble keeping track of which bee I was controlling. Part of that is because I'm colorblind, but I feel like it would help to have a more obvious indicator than the outline of the bee flashing red. It would also be great if you could switch to specific bees using the number keys. Other than that, I think this is a great game!
