Made for Ludum Dare 46

Game:

- You play as a bee. Plant and water trees to get fruit, which can either be sold for water and score points or planted as another tree.

PS... The map size is unnecessarily large, there's nothing out there. Development was ofc rushed.

This was so relaxing! The background music fit perfectly with this type of game and I really enjoyed growing the trees and gaining more and more score! :)

@jakemchugh1 Thanks for letting me know! I think the issue should be fixed now. :) (I'm assuming you meant the Web version btw)

Nice little game. At first the water rules made no since to me but the more I played it the more I liked how you got more water by completing the orders. The map was simple but really cool too. It has the potential to grow into something unique and fun. Nice entry.

The concept is fun and innovative. Really good atmosphere created too! It was a little bit hard to understand what to do at first, but then I got a very good time. Keep the good work.

Nice relaxing music, models were good, i like the concept, and the round world was good (I've considered doing something like that as well).
The interface was a bit hard to figure out. I restarted the game and then couldn't plant seeds afterwards. Some of the UI elements went off-screen.

This one didn't really click with me. I think it was a neat idea, but I had a hard time figuring it out. It was not clear that filling orders gave you back more water. I also messed up because I needed yellows for all the orders and didn't plant any of those trees. Maybe starting with one tree of each color could make that better.

I like the Idea and the interpretation of the Theme. A little more feedback on what is happening would have been nice. Smooth Controls and Beautiful Music. The Graphics are Beautiful, but a little Animation on the bee would have been nice.

Graphics and sounds are nicely done. The gameplay seems to work fine but it's super confusing to get into. UI could use some icons like apples instead of just colors. Before I understood the store, I smashed E on it until I had 0 pink ones. Then later I ran out of water and the store only accepted sets of fruit that had pink as well. I didn't have any pink trees planted, no water left and no pink seeds left. Sad M2tias :(
Good job anyway, a bit confusing but cool concept!

If you swap between full screen (which is needed to get the text to display correctly) and not full screen, it can lock in some of the commands causing you to, for instance, keep using up all your water and being unable to stop it. This pretty much crippled my game for that run. I think the audio clicks when it loops again.

I like the idea, the movement felt a little fast compared to the atmosphere.

Here's some last minute ratings and feedback from me.

Great entry! The graphics look nice and the audio is very good for a compo game! It also fits in with the theme really nicely, but the performace is not very good for such a simple game though.
