I got a score of 20, the graphics and sounds are really nice in this game. The main bee is really cute and the music was awesome, I played a few times just to hear the break down where the guitar chords come in, did you play the instruments? well done! Those red hornets are hard core and always found a way to catch up with me, perhaps as well as flower there could be a pick up to slow them down or something like in pacmac where you can eat those nasty red hornets - either way great submission, one of my favs in the jam :)

Thank you so much! I can't remember where I found the music but unfortunately I did not play the instruments.

The use of Double or Nothing in this one is actually really fun, I wish some of the effects lasted longer though, like double game speed

I like the idea, it reminds me of Crypt of the Necrodancer, in a good way!

I can see this being a mini side-game in a larger bee society game, like you do this during the morning phase and then use your winnings to further develop your bee-hive or something.

For games of this simplicity, almost 1GB download to play it is asking  a lot of the average person, so I recommend another Engine for small jams like this. I think that alone will get many more people to try your game out!

Thank you! I think you're right I'll look into some other engines. Thanks for the tip :)
