Reminded me of Trials (in a good way). Fun concept, so hard to control the spin by mouse only.
This was fun. I can spin like a bee... wee!
Very awesome game! This kinda reminds me of the old school mobile game "hill climb racing" but in a more fast paced way! The flips were satisfying and I wish there were more levels and variety tbh but at the moment, this feels like such a good bite sized game! Very clean visuals with fitting sound effects and music and I would say its kinda serious! Overall, I had fun playing this game even in a short period of time! Great work!
3127 cm w/ 76 spins! Lovely game, I love how conducive everything is with each other, and I bet this could be easily expanded upon with mechanics from the old games like Learn to Fly if you so wish.
Just noticed the tagline lmao
After a few days of voting on game jams and getting mentally tired from doing it, this is the first game I'm checking out today and this game is really so fun and put a smile on my face. What's more it's about bees!
The audio sfx works really well, the spin to boost mechanic is great, the in game tutorial was perfectly simple and easy to understand, the visuals work very well, the vibe is light, and everything about the game is just nice and fun. I honestly don't think there is anything to dislike. The only thing I can think of that could be improved is that the spin counter still goes after the time limit ends if the bee is up in the air--or maybe that's intentional and you wanted it to count until the bee hits the ground again.
Great job! I love this one.
I'm glad you think so, I wanted to keep it simple because I tend to over complicate games I've made in the past so it's very gratifying to find people tend to agree.
The spin counter going up after the time ends was something I couldn't decide on. Ultimately distance is what counts and it was intentional that that wouldn't be recorded until the player touched the ground so I figured I'd do the same for spins. I see it both ways though. Thanks for the feedback!
Really fun! Its been awhile since I played a game like this. Honestly I liked everything about it. I only wish there as more of it :). Nice work!
This was a blast! The on-screen tutorial made it so that you can just drop right in, and everything is immediately understandable. So satisfying to get a big launch out of a boost, and the tradeoff of gliding versus getting back to the ground for a boost is really nice. I like that the timer is short so it's easy to say "just one more run" while chasing the high score. The art style and music are simple but nice, and the sound effect of the motorcyle is well-done, too. Really fun game, great work!
How did you make this feel so fast and satisfying?! Also, hymenoptera games for the win! :D
Yes! Hymenoptera animals are so fascinating (even if you only play as one bee in this game haha).
A really nice and fun minigame! Well thought!
really addictive game i like it
yo this game reminds me of the flash games from the early 2000s, very nostalgic feel! fun game play!
Yes! that's sort of what I went for so I'm happy someone picked up on that
This is unique gameplay, 10/10 on the theme creativity though I do think the art could be more interesting. This game need legit mouse skill.
Hey D00by! I had fun playing the game.
The bee on a motorcycle was cute. After a few tries, I had a good run that got me to 20+ spins. Everything was functional and when I wiped out I always knew it was my fault, which is good!
After the level ends, there is a point where you can continue to spin and rack up your multiplier. I don't think it affects the game (the menu is already showing and score locked in) but thought you should be aware.
Hi, thanks for playing! I am aware that the player can keep playing after the end screen and did plan to remove it but if felt better that the player kept control and I couldn't think of a better solution haha
The art is so cute, and the concept is pretty funny! The art on the actual web page is also gorgeous!
I spent a great deal of time trying to figure out an art style I liked so I'm glad you like it!
This is one of my favorites. Lovely art and spinning is just so fun. I only just started playing but I got 50 spins which was good fun
A really awesome game!!
Love how there is honey when we fall.
Very cool game, I've seen some with the same concept but this one feels smooth!
Thanks, I spent a fair bit on getting the feel down so that's good to hear
Lots of fun! I just wish there was more time on the clock to keep going!
My highscore was 2568 cm
I played around with how long to give the player and settled on 30s because more felt like it was getting on the longer side. Maybe it could've been a touch longer though.
That's quite the score though, thanks for playing!
Such a fun game! I wish i could keep spinning for longer!
Really fun concept and execution and very original theme. The art is amazing as well 10/10 would be bees again.
Thanks very much! It took me a while to land on the art but I think I worked out
I played without reading anything and was like "yeah ok where is the spin", and Eureka, I thought about moving my mouse and understood lmao.
Was fun to torture my mouse and not crash haha, well done!
Yes, in hindsight people are probably fed up spinning their mouse for so many of the other entries that a different mechanic might've been preferable. I'm glad you liked it though!
I didn't play that much game so I was fresh haha
