Fun concept, I had trouble with the controls but I think it could be great with a few tweaks!

based based based based, fun, I need more levels

very simple gameplay loop, I'd suggest adding the score on the screen while your playing so the player can keep track instead of just having the score at the end. the controls can be a bit confusing, maybe adding a direction indicator relative the the players input might help with this?

Cool little game. With a few tweaks it's great. Having some indication of where the bee is facing is seriously lacking here, and it's quite disorienting trying to figure out where I'm going before it's too late. I do appreciate the unwieldy control scheme though: it's fun to control with limitations!

A simple but very difficult game to master! It's really fun! Will be great if added a leaderboard system. 
For the gameplay, I feel like it will be better if enemy has smaller hitbox. 

This is the highest score I can get... I'm not a very good gamer. XD

A cool game and concept but needs some improvements. As it seems everyone else here has said, the controls are bit unruly. I feel like this is all down to the controls flipping, as the actual handling of the bee for each direction on its own is very good. I like how the combination of the a and d movement creates a kind of snaking path that really looks like how a bee moves. The game would benefit from a score counter, as well as some points gained from killing enemies and hitting the flower. The sword should probably stay with you if you hit the flower as, as it is now, the sword is pretty useless as you can only ever kill a bee or two. Still overall a good game

It seems like a fun game loop, and I enjoy the sounds, music, art, etc. Unfortunately the controls do not work. Having left/right be up or down depending on your direction might have worked, if direction didn’t change so frequently. I was able to get up to 13, but the controls make me want to give up rather than push it.

Other than that, this is so close to being a really fun, addictive, high score chasing game. The UX works, there’s a nice tutorial, and the touch controls are very welcome.

Nice job all around, I don’t mean to sound too negative. It’s really close to being great.

The art style is cute, but the controls are really hard to get used to. I mostly just spun around randomly trying to dodge the other bees (wildly unsuccessfully).

Submitted

A bit hard to control, but good game

I played for over 10 minutes and couldn’t get used to the controls, the character turns too much, not only when hitting a wall, and then the up and down controls area inverted and I get confused. My highest score was 22, and I’m sad I only survived that long. The visuals, music and sound are great, I loved the art, good job!

Submitted

Cool entry! Like most of the other commentors have said, I had quite an issue with the controls, where they really just were not natural to get the hang  of, but other than that, the gameplay loop is fun and enjoyable! Great work :)

Submitted

Oh man those controls took me forever to figure out but sort of made sense once I did. I think having the bee top down may have given a bit more visual cue that it's from it's perspective. Well done though and quite addicting to play once you have that part down.

Submitted

I loved the art, and the music was very silly I loved it!

The controls felt a bit confusing — I somehow managed to move the way I wanted, but I’m still not sure how. Making them a bit more intuitive would help a lot. Other than that, the game was really enjoyable, and with some extra feedback it could feel much more impactful.

The bumming is so hard and satisfying I just keep bumming to enemy bee. Mine is similar but it is bumping butterfly instead.

Submitted

Pretty fun. I really did feel like a hapless bug bouncing off the walls. Controls are tricky in a way that made me want to get better at it. Simple, simple game, but you pulled something off here. Good job!

Submitted

The controls are unique and took me a sec to figure out. Made me feel like i really was flying a bee. This was fun! 

It's very addictive. Controls are perfect, made it a real bee simulator. Realized how hard it is to be a bee.

Submitted

Addictive XD

Took a while for me to understand the control but I really enjoys it ^^

I think what make this game really addictive for me is the speed up and the feeling of I think could do better

The game play is really simple but enjoyable to play

Submitted

Took me a while to figure out that “press Right to play again” meant the right arrow button, and not right-click. The controls are atrocious, but that just adds to the wonderful chaos of this game, so don’t change them. A lot of fun to play.
