How does your game fit the theme?
Play as a bee, join together with bear to feed honey and make stronger. Separating breaks the bond and cancels the upgrade.

I really liked this! The bear was so cute and I loved running around being a busy bee while the bear just toddled around :D
Thank you for playing, I'm glad you liked it!!
The mechanics are fun and the music is catchy. It lacks of difficulty since you can get out of your enemies range very fast since the bee is way too fast for them and the bear will do it's job alone. The buffs are good, but the fact that makes the bear stay quiet for 4-6 seconds doesn't make it that much attractive to get. I would like to see more of this game!
Thanks for playing, and for the feedback!! Unfortunately, I didn't have much time to balance, but those are some good points, thanks again!
Great game! Thanks for playing mine.
Thanks for playing! No worries :)
Oo nice mechanics! Love the idea of the bee working with the bear! This was great! The enemies were hard, but in a good challenge kind of way that made you feel good when you beat them! Great job!
Thank you so much for playing, and for the feedback!! I'm glad you had fun :)
Nice concept! Cool bear!
Thanks for playing!!
Really fun! I love games where you buff characters that automatically fight for you for whatever reason. Nice beat as well. Well done!
Thank you so much! Really appreciated! :)
Very funny and exciting game. The best part was that HMMMMMM...HaHa! Also I meet a problem on level 3 maybe, when bear kill all enemies, the flowers just disappear...
Thanks for playing!!
That's purposeful! All the flowers disappear at the end of the level to stop you just hiding behind the bear and collecting them after combat :)
However I did forget to put any flowers on one level, so it could be that haha.
Very nice concept! I think this is a lovely idea for a game. I think you can push this concept a little farther if you were to try to pressure the player to separate from the bear more, as I usually could stay in range of the bear for most of the game. Also, the game doesn't really end on a game over (you can still move around even when your sprite is gone, and the bear still attacks), so I managed to win the game while my bee was dead, so that might be a good thing to fix up. I think this is a lovely concept and I'd love to see where you can go with it on further iteration!
Thankyou so much for playing, and for the feedback! Pressuring the player to separate from the bear is a great idea!
Totally aware of the player not properly dying. This was a cheap workaround so I didn't have to mess around with the camera (I was running out of time), but I totally forgot about it until it was too late to fix. Definitely something I'll iron out.
Thanks for playing!
Nice and lovely mechanic. :)
Thank you!!
I just got a pink screen and only the UI would load. Looks fun though.
That's strange, I haven't encountered that problem before when playtesting :// maybe try give the window a restart? Thanks for trying to play, anyway!
I like the music, the gameplay felt a little rough, I didn't get a tutorial on attacking enemies, but otherwise, good submission!
Thanks for playing, and for the feedback! I wish I'd had time to do a proper tutorial, you can't actually attack the enemies, the Bear automatically fights for you!
Thanks again!
Lovely game, good job
Thank you!
I love the bear!
Thanks!!
Really interesting idea! The gameplay felt nice and the visuals were really cute.
Thanks so much! :)
That was some intense bullet hell! I ended up hiding in the corner while my super-powered bear killed the boss. I really liked the interaction between the two characters, it felt like real teamwork! I would have kept playing if the game was longer.
Thank you for your work!
Thank you so much!! Yeah, if I'd had time I would have worked on the environment a bit, but alas, the deadline!
Thanks for playing!
The bear body blocked like a champ!
What a good bear.
Thanks for playing!!
I like the idea but the attacks are not very impactfull.
If you collect enough red flowers, the damage increases and he does more damage!
Thanks for playing, though, and for the feedback! If I'd had time, I definitely would have added a tutorial about the flower types.
nice job! i like that the bear can block bullets. defeated the boss 🐝
Thanks for playing!! And well done on beating the boss!
I love the idea of levelling up the bear based on explorartion and collecting the flowers. then the bear goes and fights for you using the stat boosts youve given it. WIth more polish this concept is great!
Thank you so much! Like many jammers, we wish we had more time! Thank you for the feedback :)
a really fun game. I like the art and the theme interpretation :)
Thankyou so much!!
