My girlfriend had so much fun playing your game. It's really relaxing and has beautiful artwork!

She recommends upgrades regarding the watercan, like you can buy additional honey jars from Ralph.

I have to add, that the beekeeper sprite would also be great as a grim reaper. ;)

HOLY CARP. Okay, so hello. You may have gathered (pun included) that I'm Enteal's girlfriend. I was so excited to play this. Genuinely. Now! First! A very heart Congratulations to all of you! This game is so sweet, I couldn't stop playing and I loved every minute of it.

So! What immediately stood out was the personality of this game. I loved Ralph, and I loved the bees quietly spreading about and pollinating the flowers. I was already invested in looking at every little pixel of detail, and when I found that you animated the water filling and the honey collecting for the character I was so excited. And THEN, then, you went and animated the water filling up in the hot bar along with the honey jar doing the same. WHAT. THE DETAIL. Take a bow right now!!!!!

I have very little criticism for this game. The only thing that stood out to me was when I clicked the menu was difficult to see. That's it! Lol!

I am now following and am so excited to see what you create next. Don't stop! You both inspired me, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to play this game. Thank you for making it!

I can't put into words how blown away I am with this game. From the moment I heard the music and saw the little bee keeper's hood bobbing around, I wore a smile from ear to ear. I mean, this was a tremendously enjoyable experience for me and I almost never play games like this. Nathan and Justin, you knocked this one out of the park. This has so much character, so much charm, and a ton of potential. I could see myself playing a fully realized version of this game for dozens of hours -- heck, I even played this one for far longer than I imagined I would. I couldn't play this game, enjoy it as much as I did, and then neglect to leave words of affirmation and validation for you both. So here's to you! You did it, and you did it so well!

- charming
- relaxing
- unique
- enticing
- creative
- so much more!

My partner, who submitted a game called Shade Strider, would absolutely adore this game. I linked Bee's Bring Life to her on Discord and raved a good bit about how much I like it. This is right up her alley, and similar in style to a game about homesteading which she has been silently developing for years.

If you are interested in reviewing her and her teammate's addictive and charming "endless runner" game, please give Shade Strider (by TehRyan and Setteal) a try: /jam/pirate/rate/2491872

Thank you so much Enteal! This means the world to us and the joy felt reading your words is unspeakable. We wanted to make something that would brighten somebody's day more than than anything and your comment affirmed that ;). We're planning on making a fully realized version in the next month so I will be sure to send you a copy if we do. And we will of course check out your partners game and leave a review. Again thank you for the kind words, the impact they have is tremendous!

A very relaxing game! Took about 30 minutes to cover the whole playable area with flowers
