For my entry, I wanted to build a relatively chill game managing a bee colony and going scouting for sources of nectar.
The goal of the game is to build enough honey reserves for your colony to survive through the coming winter. You must look for nectar sources when they become available, and manage the size of your colony to make the most of the nectar that's available at the time. When searching for nectar, make sure you find it before sundown. Bees don't fly at night!
This entry is a first for me in that I used my own custom game engine instead of Love2D like all my previous entries! I found balancing this game particularly hard, and unfortunately ran out of time for audio (like always).
While searching for nectar:
- WASD to move the bee
- Space to start harvesting the flowers
