Fantastische Arbeit soweit wie ich gespielt habe. Darf sich wirklich das Prädikat "Spiel" geben Die erste Mission mit Stern sammeln & Ringe durchfliegen ist etwas schwer. Kam mit -8 sekunden ins Ziel.

Ich kann es leider jetzt noch nicht ausführlich testen weil ich zur Schule muss

PS: Sorry for german post. I will reply in english when I am back from school.

EDIT: OK, tested the game and got stuck in the level where I have to collect the stars inside the house (and area). Found 7 stars without problems. But the 8 star is impossible to find. I searched for a realy extreme long time and couldn´t find it, so I guess one star is missing in that mission.

Overall the game is very very difficult. Often espacially in later missions the gates are too far away and I can´t see them and have to search them because they are created outside of the screen or behind something (like tree or the fence).

The controls aren´t making the game easier but they are very good, because it realy feels like a flying insect with a mass. For everyone who find it too difficult to control simply zoom in or out with the mousewheel and the controls become much easier.
The grafics are very good. Maybe the hearts should be replaced by some kind of bonus object. The stars maybe could be honey drops, or be called "honey stars". But that´s maybe no real improvement, just an idea.

The timelimit is frustrating. I think it would be much better to place the gates closer together and give the player more time so has more time overall. The negative countdown is just no fun. The idea would still work, because depending on how much time he gets into the finish, the player would get a grade, where every grade is a certain amount of bonus points. Also the level should been restartet if the time runs out.

THE ESCAPE BUTTON should exit to the menu or better open a menu and pause the game.

I am not the target group customer thing for that kind of games. I am more thinking of children. And for them the game is for sure tooooooooooooo difficult especially they don´t understand how to handle physics (me when I was a child).

The soundeffects are good, but you MUST add music and or ambience sounds (ocean waves near the ocean, gulls, zirpende Zikaden-Dinger(!) etc.).

And here is also the next point. The game is too dead. The grafics are beautyful, and it´s realy perfect, but still there is missing more live on the map, like gulls sailing on the sky (I recomment simply to buy some in a shop, I know that they sell them). Other bees would be nice aswell flying their path to flowers and back home.
And even more video game professionality it would be if I could fly to the other bees and talk to them and then they challenge me to a flower(star) or (gate) race.

I didn´t knew where north is, without a compass. At least add to the briefing something like sun stands in the east direction or something. Or from the hive the tree is in south direction.

This game would also work well for older target groups customer things, but then there would be the need for more action. Instead of the timelimit other (colored) bees or something would need to attack the player while he tries to solve the mission. And also other game modes I posted before in this thread.

I don´t know if I wrote it already: The missions should also be a little more different to improve the gameplay quality.

OK, that´s all I remember right now. It´s a realy good quality game, with some flaws which can be improved. Right know it´s a game which could easily sold by the grafics with some good screenshots, which are easy to make in this game and with some good gameplay, which is also easy to presentate. But for the longer time fun, till I have money for my next game, there should be the one or the other thing. An idea I had right now, is to buy/unlock stuff from the points I get in the game, like pictures in a gallery, and funny realtime "movies"/scenes of the bees.
