So satisfying this worked on my super ultrawide. I struggle with that in my own games.
I agree with Marc below. Some kind of place to pick up upgrades would make this even better but with just a month to build a game it is really hard to get much more done than the core game, so congratulations on a lovely entry.
A fun take on the theme! I liked the core loop of flying near enemies as a butterfly, swapping to a bee, shooting, transforming back to butterfly, and escaping to reload; it felt like a surgical strike. Enemy variety was good although some visual variety in the background would have been nice. I think some sort of secondary play loop, like visiting flowers to upgrade your attack, would have really elevated the gameplay. All in all though a nice entry.
This was quite fun! The game felt like it had a nice rhythm to it and I love the choice of music, doesn't fit at all but it's so extra I wouldn't want it to be anything else! One thing I would recommend is to have the icon for the bee sting recharge on the character themself something on them so that you don't have to look way up at the corner for a small icon when the action is happening in the center. The sound bit did help but a visual signal would be even better in my opinion.
Congrats on your submission :)
It's very fun as you get to the later waves! The variety of enemy patterns makes the game more and more interesting as you progresses. It's great that you can also restart at the current wave instead of restarting from the beginning.
Two things I would change:
- Maybe you could add the "shooting butteflies" early in the game. During the first wave, I wasn't really getting the point of switching from bee to butterfly as the enemies are quite slow and easy to shoot. That becomes more clear once you get the bullet hells from these enemies.
- The animation when you have only one heart left obstruct the screen a little bit too much in my opinion, you might look for a more subtle effect.
Overall, I really enjoyed it. Thanks for making that game :D
very fun game! I got until wave 8, and then I accidentally closed the page... :P
It was fun. Gave you 5/5, for all, I don't take ratings so seriously!
Like the idea and the cliche interpretation :)
Curious the way to transform and cute hehe
Great idea and very satisfying game
Good luck!
Nice Game! Very interesting Gameplay
