I spent more time than I care to admit on this one! Great stuff! I love the sketchy (is that the right word? I’m a bad at art terms.) art style, and the music got stuck in my head for a little after I played it. I've never really played zaxxon before, but having given it a shot right after this I can clearly see the influence. You all wear it on your sleeves, and you wear it well! Controlling Mr. Bee felt great! There were a few times where I was certain I'd go through the hole, but would crash. Keep in mind, I am stupid, so maybe THAT's the issue, so take that with a grain of salt or two. I also had a hard time telling what the gusts of wind were supposed to be. I flew into them thinking they'd maybe do something since none of the other holes had the wind, but it killed me instead. Now having seen Zaxxon, I can tell its trying to replicate the laser on top of the walls, but without that context I ended up losing a solid run. Maybe thorny vines would get the message across while still being able to have spots you can see through? I loved the boss fight at the end, BUT i would maybe recommend adding some sort of shadow to the playfield, because I lost many a life not being able to tell where I was in relation to the evil wasps. The boss fight against the bird was super sick as well. Overall great stuff! I think you could totally make a mobile version of this or something and it'd do great!
