the game wasnt very intuitive, i had to restart the game and reread the instructions multiple times just to understand how to play. was really looking forward to enjoy this specially with how impressive the game looked. controls felt nice, the world feels cozy, but not knowing wut to do or how to play really killed any motivation i initially had. i wud really try fixing that for the next update.

while i did say i liked how the controls felt; i think it cud have been simplified, like flying towards your camera for all axis instead of having a separate button for ascending and descending.

Thanks the play and comment! I completely agree with you about it being unintuitive. I tried to take the No Numbers challenge as a whole diagetic presentation challenge, and I fell a little short.
Technically you dont need the extra buttons for up and down as a little height change happens with the camera, but more would have helped for sure, and the other buttons were kind of a middle ground as I worked on getting the flying controller working on a spherical world. With more updates I think I can bring the gameplay back to the forefront and actually make something good out of this. Appreciate the feedback.

Holding off on rating it for now - I can't figure out how to get pollen to make any progress? There are red flowers but I don't think they are doing anything for me.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH THIS CUTE PIE BEE? CUTE BEE FACE AND A CUTE BEE BUTT? I am overwhelmed with the cuteness. This game was soooooooo soothing to play, I loved just flying around. I didn't even need "the game" I needed to buzz around and BEE a BEE you know what I mean? So cute! It was 10/10 comfy cozy

Thank you so much for playing and buzzing around. Be the bee!

I enjoyed it (after needing a bit of help on understanding how it works lol

The gameloop is neat, and the world is actually pretty nice too (I really like spherical worlds). It could however do with more polish, the gameplay was really unintuitive for me, neither visual nor sound cues for many things, so initially I had no clue what is going on. but nonetheless a cool idea and enjoyable once I get the hang of it!

I really enjoyed being a bee and flying free, not to mention that the game is very well optimized

Wow, our bee models are visually quite similar. The game looks great and plays smoothly, but I just couldn't grow more that two flowers and then I got stuck. I even read the tutorial multiple times. Still, it was very pleasant to fly around the planet. Well done!

Thanks for playing, I'll check yours out soon.

Did you try finding another tree to plant near and pulling in more pollen? There should be more areas as the territory expands as well.

OzMaisterSubmitted107 days ago

I tried sucking everything and plant all the pollen I could find near the butterflies. I got one sunflower near the big tree and another near the smaller trees. After those flowers were gone I couldn't find more of them. Maybe I 'll have better luck with the game later.

You have to kind of keep planting them and then gathering pollen from them, then spreading out over the planet, eventually getting your sisters to collect the nectar while you spread the pollen. I should probably make that more clear for sure, thank you for the feedback, it definitely helps figuring out the parts that don't read well, I was definitely too deep in it. I did notice on the controller, the vacuum felt a bit slow to get started, so it might take a while until you upgrade your bee some more.

Really nice job getting a 3D game running this smoothly on browser. The bee looks adorable, and it played really well on gamepad too. Flying around felt really zippy and fun, and the controls were responsive.

Thanks for playing! I definitely spent a lot of time getting the controls to feel right on the spherical plane, glad it feels good.
