The idea of the game was great. I enjoyed playing it. I have a few suggestions on changing the game. Making the enemy birds smaller or making it so that you have to shoot them two or three times to kill them so that It is harder to destroy, would add more of a challenge. I think the rate that the pollen appears is kind of slow. I don't know if I'm missing anything to make the pollen appear faster, but I think increasing the spawn speed and the amount of rounds to win would make the game better in my opinion.

What a cute little game! Well done. I don't really have any criticisms. It was fun, short, and sweet. I liked how you positioned some of the flowers near the edge of the screen. it added a bit of tension as I hoped no birds would spawn near them as I went towards the pollen on the flowers.

I liked this game and thought it was cute! The gameplay was really fun as you have to collect three pollen clusters before you drop them off at the hive. One thing that I wish you could have done was after each round, there would be an additional bird that would spawn, which can help with the difficulty as the game is really easy.

This game is very cool, the animation is good and the concept is intriguing, Everything was smooth very cool aesthetic. The assets were very well picked. Good job!

I think that the movement system you used was very smooth and reactive. Also, the animation of the bird was amazing. I would maybe make the bee a little bit faster to make it easier on the player.

Cute aesthetic! Of course, not the only thing the game's got going for it. The gameplay is quite fun, and the game overall doesn't overstay it's welcome. Maybe if multiple birds spawned before you get the last point, this would be a perfect 5 stars!

This game was so fun and cute! I thought everything looked and sounded great together and you did a great job picking assets.  The gameplay was simple and easy enough to grasp while adding a good amount of challenge. You could add more challenging levels  if you wanted to, but that wasn't part of the assignment so I think what you have on this one works great. I like that you can't just spam stingers out, you respawn at the hive, and you have to gather 3 pollen clusters before dropping them off.  All of these details made for a really well put together game. Great job!!

This was such a unique idea! I loved the fact that you had to collect and deliver; it felt like a fun take on this project. Having to wait for 3 pollen clusters to before you could turn it in made it feel a bit riskier; I couldn't just turn in what I had, I had to stay alive long enough to get 3 of them. I think the game was a bit too easy, though. Perhaps spawning multiple birds at once, or maybe even making their movement speed vary could make for an interesting challenge!

Thank you!

And yeah, I agree-- varied movement speeds in particular could really help to up the challenge to a better place
