Amazing zen game. Original mechanics that really work.

Most beautiful game I have played so far! My only feedback is that the obstacle breaking mechanic might need some better in-game explanation because it's a fairly original concept and I wasn't able to intuit it very well.

I love the cute art style! At first I didn't get the speed building mechanic in the first small area, but once I got it, it felt so very liberating to traverse so fast after starting out so small. At some points some kind of arrow pointing home might have come in handy, but as there's no need to be(e) in a rush, it wasn't much of an issue. Great job! :smile:

Great aesthetic and overall vibe to the game. I really liked the concept and theming of the game. Took me a bit of time to figure out the speed and obstacles. It looks and feels great!

The visual style and audio come together so beautifully and create a really peaceful atmosphere. This was such a joy to play. The arrows around the bee make it a lot easier to understand how to play but it did take me a little while to notice how they worked. Good job team!!

Very cool entry. Very calming and nice and simple and made for a very polished experience! I'm not sure how the movement distance was calculated but wasn't a huge issue for clicking around to play :)

The graphics in this game are superb. It took a while to figure out gameplay but after a while it became more clear. Played it through to the end. Maybe it would be good to make the goal (the final level) clear from the beginning. Just a suggestion. Overall, a fun game. Nice work.

Very relaxing game with pretty graphics. I Made it to max level, there was nice progression here and it was satisfying to gradually clear the level and be able to progress with your more powerful bee. I think the music suited the game well, and there was a very relaxing mood. I think the speed mechanic could have been made to be more tactical though - as it stood, I just spun around in a circle to ram at a wall harder if I needed to break through it.

But nice soothing game, I enjoyed it :)

Nice zen game. It took me a while to figure out how to break the walls, but after that it was so much fun that I didn't stop playing when reaching the top level. The game looks pretty and the music fits well.

Very relaxing game with extremely polished graphics. The biggest piece of feedback back is it would have been nice to have a little animation or audio effect for when you break through blocks. It was difficult for me to know when I would break block some times.

This is wonderful! The speed building mechanic is fun and not something I've seen before. The progression felt fun and the visuals were great. I think this might be one of my favorites I've played so far

Absolutely wonderful, the speed mechanic reminded me of games like vector racer which I'm quite a fan of and as someone who absolutely loves bees the aesthetic was right up my alley! Really well done, I loved it!

I Loved the music for this game. I liked the ever expanding world but there was no way to fully appreciate how much I had explored. I think a zoom out button to just see the world would be cool. Also more notification as to whats happening when you go through each flower.
