The bees were super cute! Loved the 3D aesthetics of this one.

The isometric camera was a neat idea, reminiscent of SNES "cube" games (yours controls much smoother though), although I found it that a bit the perception of depth was a bit unclear when walking behind one of the bees (for better and worse as I took a few risks like that that paid off :p )

I would have loved a settings menu, if anything for audio and background sounds control. Probably a bit more music wouldn't hurt.

Fun playthrough! I found the whole thing well balanced save for the super despairing last bee haha

I second the notion that a hard mode of getting them all without dying could be interesting, but I like the saving mushrooms as default.

Developer

Thanks so much! That's good feedback. I definitely think Im gonna invest in spending some time to make some settings for future game jams (I dont think it'll take much time to set up like a template for that)

Had to bust out the controller for this one, last level really tested my patience!! 10/10

Developer

Omggg yeah Im glad you used controller its definitely a way better way to control for isometric movement. Thanks :)

This game is adorable! I appreciate that the game is quite forgiving (if you "die" you don't have to get all the mushrooms again). I like a bit of a challenge so my favorite level was the final one! I could definitely see this game being a full fledged game :D

Developer

oh thanks that is really encouraging! Thanks for finishing it!

Cute bees!

Somehow managed to dodge that final bee in the final level on my first try, probably the only time I've ever felt like a pro in a video game

Developer

Yay I am glad you were able to complete it! Thanks for playing the whole thing lol

As my hero, Nicolas Cage, once said, "NOT THE BEES!"

I love the 3D models of this game, its very cute, Its nice that if u got hit by the bee it moves you back to the start point, but the mushroom is still collected, also i got some personal beef with the last level especially the last bee, i rage quited, anyway Great Job :>

Developer

Totally fair point, last bee was a little much ! Thanks for playing :)

The last level took me three tries but it was satisfying to finally win! That final bee was mean though.

I felt some relief when I realized that dying to the bees didn't reset your collection progress, though I think I also would have enjoyed it on "hard mode" where you need to get every mushroom without dying. The design of the bee movement and the precision required to navigate through them was just difficult enough that I think it would have kept me motivated to keep getting better at the level until I could do it all in one try. But I'm a particularly stubborn player :)

Developer

Thank you for the feedback, I definitely wanted to make something hard but satisfying so thats good  to hear the difficulty worked for you

My teammate and I had a blast playing this game! The animations were super smooth and I love how the little guy covers his eyes when he hits a bee. The levels were suspenseful and we're gonna go back and beat that last level later hehe. It would be cool to maybe have multiple obstacles to avoid or something new added design-wise every few levels to make it feel fresh! Overall very fun game and creative title :)

Developer

Aww thanks thats so nice to hear cause it was my first time making my own Blender assets! :o I appreciate it!!
