A speed-running dexterity game about a bee pollinating flowers and gathering nectar, all while avoiding the obstacles that reside in the forest. Click and drag your bee pal to the assorted flora and try to harvest as much honey as you can!
"Beeline_LD52.zip" is the most up to date game file.
The Jerry Seinfelds almost got me with their inconsistent comedy timing! WebGL didn't work for me (tried different browsers), but the download worked perfectly. The music got a little repetitive for me. Overall it was a fun game to play with nice level design.
The game has simple and childish graphics, but the gameplay is surprisingly engaging. The goal of collecting nectar, pollinating other flowers, and returning back to the beehive is clear and easy to understand. The sound effects are simple and and music repetitive. The game could benefit from more variety in sound effects and music to create a more immersive experience. Despite the simple graphics, the game is entertaining, and the goal is very clear which is a positive aspect. Keep up the good work!
Very nice game! Just some tips: Black text on a dark green background does not have enough contrast to read. Maybe more variants of tree styles? Also, bee can fly into trees with speed (I'm not sure if that's purpose). But overall, great game and I enjoyed every minute! Also sound effects are great!
Surprisingly, very enjoyable game. The controls of the bee felt really smooth and responsive. The goal of the game is clear and we don't need to spend time reading a long an overcomplicated tutorial. Great job !
It was nice that the gameplay goals were extremely clear of what we wanted to do, but I think I had a few instances where I died and restarted the level, and some of the flower images stayed in their pollenated state, but logically weren't actually pollinated. That along with the graphical distinction between the states were my biggest gripes. You had particle effects spawning from the source plants, I think those would have been placed well on the target plants.
But, that is minor improvements to a game that works, has a perfect level of challenge, and is fun to play.
I really liked that there was short tutorial. And hearing the bee sound the first time got me to chuckle haha. I glitched myself out of the level and couldn't get back in sadly. Also no ultrawide support but thats understandable haha
Interesting level design that really takes advantage of the mouse movement speed. I like that there's some leeway with getting hit to make taking damage to finish faster an option. Unfortunately I glitched out of bounds on the bottom side of level 16, but overall a really neat game that actually teaches its mechanics quite well. (Also, there might be a bug with the water audio continuing to play after the level is finished).
I really liked the controls, I like it was based on how fast you moved your mouse. I also liked you put variety in the sounds playing such as the water and car horn. I glitched out of bounds as well but replayed and finished the game. Was it on purpose you made fun of Jerry Seinfeld in a game about BEES or was it coincidence?...Because he made an animated movie about bees lol.
It was a fun game that I didn't expect, and I didn't think I would get hit by anything until I found out that I dropped the honey, which made me only 80% of the gain. But sometimes to the water flow level water flow sound will not end because of the pass, I do not know if it is a bug.

Flying around was done really nicely to collect the nectar. Nice job! :D

Looking forward to the subsequent updates.
