Great game and keeps with the spirit of Bee Magic despite the change in objective (min-maxing vs. win with restrictions).
It would be nice to have some clear indications of the “best” score for each level as something to aim for, i.e. the optimal score with n# boxes, or without using knowledge learned from the “messages in the bottles”, etc.
Even like an indication on the “leaderboards” people are posting would help. (How many boxes did they use for that score? Did they use “vanilla” powers only?)
Those optimal scores might not even be known, however, (as there’s so many tools available once the player gets into the end game) and I can see how pushing the barriers without a clear answer is preferable to others.
