Enjoyed it. Could use some sounds and some balancing but great for the time constraints.

Art was fantastic! This could make a great full game with a little more content and sound!

Nice game. The art is really well done and the keeping the game alive by harvesting the fireflies to plant spawn points is clever use of the theme. Good work! 🐝

Respawn mechanic is a bit confusing, but then I figured out how it works and game become much more interesting. Lack of sound really makes game not as comfortable as it could be with such amazing art and idea :(

The boss design is pretty cool!

Interesting concept for a minit-style game. I could see this expanded on into a longer game. It was a little unclear how the respawning mechanics worked, such as them having multiple uses if you defeated more enemies before placing it, but I had a great time.

Well done!

Art was beautiful, the game play mechanic was interesting and the bosses where nice. To bad no sound/music.
Good game!

Beautiful art! Obviously you ran out of time to balance the game but it was still fun to play.
By the nature of the theme, I experience this a lot but every 10 seconds the game resetting is a big hit to the flow of the game. It gets interrupted a lot. Though it is an innovative idea to place your own checkpoints! Thanks for participating!

Great artwork! Really interesting idea to place your own checkpoints! Though resetting the game isn't really fun. Either way great work!

I loved the idea of integrating the theme with the short lifespan of a bee! The artwork for the bee, bosses, and terrain was also great, so nice work on all those. I think the game could have been a bit harder since I wasn't ever scared of dying after the first few minutes, but overall still enjoyed the experience. Nice work!

graphics are awesome, great job on them! the gameplay is really nice too, it's an interesting idea to place your respawn points. i wish there was audio and this would be a fabulous game! but remembering you were alone and had 72h to do it, it's really a great entry!
