Interesting concept, and I like the graphics. I think you could improve the game by making less bees in the swarm so that you had to think more about how to avoid the flies and avoid dying, as the others said here I found the game pretty much impossible to lose.

Hah- cute graphics, with a cool concept. It did take me a go or two to understand that you’re separately setting the moves for each split swarm; maybe a “turn” indicator could have made it more obvious- but I worked it out in the end and had fun when I did :D

At first was a bit confusing, but I really liked the game. Also when you know how it works it's a bit too easy because you can just spam down and right arrows and you'll most likely win. But still great entry and in such small amount of time

I really like the graphics and sounds. Gameplay is a little easy - seems like as long as I keep going in the direction of the goal it's a guaranteed win. But for only four hours this is amazing.

That was oddly deep for the pico and time limitations. XCOM for bees.
