I really enjoyed the concept and it was a fun game! My wife thought it was super cute. Really liked this one a lot! Only down side was that it was pretty easy to fly at a single height and not have to try hard at the game. However, could easily be changed by varying the height of the flowers more. Was great!!

It's a fun little game, I can see it turning into some sort of endless runner kind of game. 

One thing that was messing me up, was the speed of the bee and sliding , It was really hard to control and i had to go backwards a lot of times because I missed a flower

I love the art style and sound design, volume is a little high but the game is good, could use a gameplay loop and could be more fun.

Developer

Original loop was going to be  have the player grow a certain number of plants and have a fuel system like nectar that the player had to collect to keep spreading flowers east and west. Not enough time so just removed all of it.

Ah i see, I had more i wanted to do with my game too but had to scrap it so I see where you are coming from.

A nice relaxing game, I think a volume slider would be a nice addition :)

Yeah its hard to tell since with my headphones it sounded normal. I had similar issue with another game where my monitor had higher contrast than what most people were playing on so the game was dark for everyone but me. I tried it on my laptop and it was indeed waaaaay too dark even if it was supposed to be a horror game. Lesson is to always have someone else try the game first on different hardware than yours.

Playtesters are always a good thing :) Did you join the discord? Perhaps next time you can ask for playtesters then ^^ Good job either way!

You had a nice idea by showing if a pollen has already been recolted. Perhaps, the game is lacking some fun, like you can go fast from left to right and recolting everything. 

Developer

LOL, the going back and forth was why I had the flowers start spawning at different sizes, but I made the hitboxes too large so it didn't really matter and you can still basically just go back and forth.

A really nice game! The visual effects on the flowers especially were beautiful, although the UI elements saying a you can collect pollen appear behind the flowers. That aside, no complaints :)

Developer

yeah I should have made the distance the flowers spawn a bit further apart so they don’t get hidden.
