How is this game a platformer, what spin does it bring to the genre?
In Bee's Awakening, you play as a bee trying to speedrun the growth of bee larva. You have enemy wasps on your case, attempting to kill your larva and steal your honey.
Our game is a platformer focused on navigation via flight. You still face the same obstacles you would in a traditional platformer but with the floaty controls of a panicking bee.
What theme does this game use? also explain how you implemented the theme
It uses both themes Speedrun and Metamorphosis.
Speedrun: You are challenged to fend for your larva whilst also against the clock, with a local scoreboard/leaderboard for best times.
Metamorphosis: Your game state depends on the progress of your larva's growth. The further they are into growing into a bee, the closer you are to succession.
Did you use any AI or PREMADE assets in this game?
No AI was used during the development of my teams game

Took me a little while to understand what was going on, but was fun once I got the hang of it.
Loved the music, this was a very cool concept and well done. Really like the art and the buzz sound was well implimented. It felt like the arena (hive) needed more walls/platforms to navigate and make it a little more intersting. Not that the game was not just to give it a boost and maybe the attackers exit points could be more defined like holes which again would make the chase aand visuals more interesting.
Thanks for the feedback! And thanks for playing!
I like the bees. Controls take a lot of getting used to.
Really great game, the control is a bit hard to understand at first but when get used to it is just nice, the visual is fantastic, but idk if a game like this should be considered a platformer or not(it is just my opinion)
My time: 136s
We ran out of time so I kinda just put together a quick thing so we didn't turn up with nothing I spoke to the host and they said it should be fine. I submitted the game but didn't post it in the discord because I too don't think it's a platformer and so I don't want to take away from those that are, not implying it could I'm just saying.
Thank you for playing! And you beat my time by 10 seconds, noice
