Cute graphics, interesting game. I included it in my LOWREZJAM compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

I really like it.

I played mostly Versus, but giving the player a few secondary modes to play with different objectives is a cool concept and the execution works.

Gameplay is immediate and fast paced, which is a big plus for me, and the controls feel fluid and responsive.  Experimenting with powerups and clashing with the CPU opponent in a sort of dogfight was genuinely fun. Graphics and Audio are good, I especially like the bee sprite and the title screen.

There are some kinks here and there, which Arkia already pointed out very well, but overall it is a really solid entry. Great job!

I like what you have done there, the powerups is a nice addition which keeps the game interesting and provides variety to the player. Audio and graphics are good. It's a cool game. Nice job :)

Thoughts from playing:

  • Title screen looks good. The hexagons flipping in the background is a nice effect.
  • Despite the timer in versus mode counting down 2 minutes, versus ends after 1 minute and 10 seconds.
  • The board the densely packed with power-ups which is nice because it gives the player many chances to use them, but it also makes it difficult to pick out specific power-ups.
  • Two of the power-ups are meant to be used against enemy drones but I rarely ever saw the other drones.
  • The magnet is by far the most useful power-up in versus mode.
  • Flowers have a long delay before they disappear after being picked up which makes collecting them feel unresponsive.

Thanks for the breakdown Arkia! I appreciate the feedback
