Hallo,
Thank you for sharing your game. I’ve already saved its RATING;
1. verified: GAME due to observed in SUBMISSIONS List with keyphrase: Linux; notes: GAME to appear to be a QUICK PLAY based on sample screenshots
2. observed: noticeable drawing and animation techniques;
3. observed: noticeable background music and sound effects techniques
4. verified: GAMEPLAY to be of causing the BEE to get the flower on the ground, and then go to the set height to execute pollinate; observed: when BEE's height position is over that of the screen, the distance appears to be excess of the correct value
5. observed: self to hit enemy birds to cause END STATE, when self started to question objective of GAME after reaching SCORE of 14, where: as example, does VALUE to continue using available remaining TIME to PLAY GAME exist?
Thank you. Health!
I love how much height this bee can get. Then just letting yourself fall back down to the ground is surprisingly effective. Fun game!
So much better than the flappy style game. This one feels like it has purpose.
Flappy bee, i like it. Simple idea but makes a satisfying gameplay loop and super well polished and executed, nice arcadey feel, good job :)
Really cute game with fun mechanics and very straight forward. Nicely done!
Good game! I liked to be able to see that marker on top that tells me how far I went, that is something I am stealing for my future games! The music and sound effects are super nice. Not sure if there isn,t but at least I didn't find, but it would be nice if there was something on top of screen where it was intended for you to hit, but it was hard/fast, and it could add more points? Really lovely game!
I'm glad you liked my little marker haha! There's no fast moving bonus at the top of the screen but thats a great idea that I'll definitely implement if I ever make any updates to the game.
Simple, fun, great artstyle and flying the bee feels nice
loved the retro artstyle and feel of the game :) I would have loved it if there was more progression to it (or maybe I didn't get far enough in the game haha)
Quite a fun arcade game, got sucked in playing it for a bit. I think at a certain point maybe another row of birds could show up to vary the difficulty a bit more, cause just the increasing amount in the two lanes present does make it harder, it's not really felt. And maybe different birds could have their own personalities like the ghosts in pac-man, the white one moves slow, the black one - fast, instead of it being a random speed. All that said, I still enjoyed playing it, well done :)
Those are some very interesting suggestions, I might have to made another version with some of those ideas! Thanks for the feedback!
For a pico8 game its really good. Fantastic.
Played it for 20 minutes straight. Simple game, yet so enjoyable!
Great entry, good luck!
I’m glad you enjoyed, thanks!
This was such a simple, yet enthralling game! Very nice work.
I'm not sure if you based the mechanics off something else, but it works so well! Really loved the overall aesthetic. :)
thank you so much! I didn’t base the mechanics off of anything specific but there are definitely many other games like it :)
I really really like this entry. It is so creative and the art is so cool. I love what you did with the clouds and the screen transition. A very neat Pico Game
thank you! i’m glad you appreciated the clouds those were harder to get right than i’d care to admit haha
Hey! I am making my own pico game rn. Just wondering if there is a tutorial or something you followed to get those clouds? They look so good.
I didn't follow any tutorial but I'm happy to comment out my code a little better and share it with you! You should also be able to look at the code in Pico8 itself if you download the cartridge
Love it, it's an original idea, the controls are very fluid and it's quickly addicting. Good job!
I really enjoyed this! The art is simple and cute, and the gameplay feels fluid. I was kind of startled at first by just how fast the bee can move, but after that it started to feel more natural. The height indicator when you're off screen is also a very nice touch.
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for your feedback!
A simple and challenging game that was lots of fun. I enjoyed trying to see how fast i could do it or how small of a space i could fit the bee through with out getting hurt by the birds.
Hey another 'busy as a bee' dev! Glad you enjoyed!
Yoo another busy as a bee!
