How does you game fit the theme?
Flowerzzz is game where you control bees. The more you control bees at the same time, the more points you'll get. The gameplay is focus on that specific feature to fit the theme "You're not alone".
At the same time another aspect of the game is the bird that is watching you and sometimes attacks your bees. You have to keep an eye on him while you are collecting flowers. Another reminder of the theme from a different angle.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code and made all the graphic assets by myself. The only part that I used assets already created and free to use, was for the sound effects and the musics. All the creators regarding this are in the "Credits" page inside the game.

Really cute game and very polished! :D I had fun adding multiple bees to the flowers and trying not to get caught by the bird. Nice idea to meet the you're not alone theme! Great job! :)
Really relaxing, but I am not sure about the rule of the monster, I thought it would eat one of my bees at one time, but I lost all my bees. sad/ Anyway, It's an excellent game!
Very charming and relaxing game! I loved the art and the way you control the little bees, I was a bit clumsy at first but quickly got the hang of it. I really appreciated that it required player to be a bit more active than just "clicking on where you want the bees to go". Bee trajectory and "throwing force" felt fine to me, I could easily reach all the flowers. The menu also looks really nice, I wasn't expecting this level of polish. Music and sound were also really nice, perfect amount of bee buzzing, not too much nor too little.
I wouldn't have minded being able to select multiple bees at the same time though (of course in a way that wouldn't reduce too much the threat posed by the bird, I know it's easier said than done though...) : easier to manage, and probably a bit fun to see a group of bees being flung around (it might probably be a bit chaotic because the bees might push each other, but I think that could be fun to see). For some reason I didn't understand until I read a comment how to avoid the bird, maybe I missed some explanation, but otherwise some hint displayed in the death menu after the first "death by bird attack" could've been cool.
Overall: fun, charming, relaxing, original, I had a great time with your game, and it fits the theme really well! Great job!
This is a great game! There is a lot of polish! The art looks good! I didn't realize there was a timer so when I tried to click on a bee I accidentally restarted. Might be good to give the player a moment to realize that they lost. I would also prefer that the game was infinite and it just increased difficulty over time somehow. Other than that I think it's super fun controlling the bees and avoiding the Vulture! Thank you for making this game!
Really fun game! It is a little confusing at the start but after that, it's super fun!
Great game with good core mechanics! It is easy to pick up and play and is surprisingly polished for a weeklong game jam. Good job!
Your Game gives a very smooth vibe.... With smooth Controls....Graphics are good and creates a relaxing atmosphere. Good Game.
Cute game. Cute graphics cute sound effects and cute music!
At first I thought it would be an RTS game I must be crazy a bee RTS and im off topic.
The select and deselect system is cool. The throw power is a but too low and its hard to aim with the white line your game provided for better aiming. I love the graphics. The style you used for your main menu is also something really related to the game. The hexygon buttons are great.
Over all great job. well done. nice mini game
Super cute game! I enjoyed the teamwork factor that was needed here, the only problem I had was with the bee's movement, since sometimes when you tried to select another bee, it just moved the already selected be away, or when you tried to add a bee to a flower, it pushed away other bees.
but still, I had a lot of fun! nice to see more bee games :)
Thx for you feedback, I agree with you regarding the movement when you try to select another bee. One solution would be to have the selection done the left click and the movement on the right click to avoid this. I'll keep this in mind for the next one ^^. Regarding the push of bees on the same flower, it's intended to add a little bit of chaos in the game ^^ It's really nice when you have the bird that start to fly and you are in a rush and you have a quick moment of panic because all your bees are falling appart or are still on a flowers. I think it adds something nice :)
This game is beautiful, the UI is especially nice. It's a lot of fun once you get the hang of it, but the controls can be a little clunky, especially when you have multiple bees and you have to try and evacuate them quickly before the hawk comes in.
Thanks for your feedback :) Yes sometimes you panick and you start making bad moves, I think it's great to have this since you always have to devide to play safe or to leave your bees a little bit longer ^^ But I agree with you, sometimes it gets messy, I was happy to achieve the movements without major bugs and with the limited time, I didn't want to change it too much to not risk breaking everything ^^
its fun game with a great concept
Fun cute game that fits the theme. Good job!
This game features an enjoyable concept, easy controls, and playful graphics that fit the mood. The game felt well-rounded and enjoyable, save from the fact that I couldn't get a bee to fly high enough to swarm the highest hanging blossoms - fantastic effort! If you want to would you feel like rating my game please? Or if not then you could help the people in the need of rating catogory. What ever you choose it is up to you. Keep up the creation of fun games :)
Another bee game and with a unique art style, nice!
Are the bees really supposed to drop after a while? That makes them pretty save actually. Having to select them all to take them to safety would be a lot harder.
I had this weird be(e)havior that the black hexagons from the transition screen were persistent in the level. Be(e) it as it is, nice game. I'll give it a B(ee)+
Very fun, love the art style :D
Fun game! Would have liked a small tutorial or some tip at the beginning on how to play, but in the end I managed and it was pretty fun! I loved the menu screen and the audio design, well done!
Thanks for playing and for your comment. I created a small tuto page on the title screen if you click on the controls button. I wanted to add some more but I ran out of time 🤣
the best I've seen so far! Love the graphics!
Thanks, I tried my best. I'm glad you liked it !
This game has a fun concept with smooth controls and UI, with playful graphics to match the vibe. I wasn't able to launch a bee to hit the highest hanging flowers, but other than that the game felt well-rounded and entertaining - good job!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
If you are talking about the too right flowers with the "X3" and the bee next to it, it's an UI element. Now that you mentioned it, I should have integrate it more efficiently as UI element.
Thanks, it was flowers that spawned in the top left near the bee hive.
