HoneyCombat🍯

It doesn’t seem like the graphics should be too much for my PC, I can’t figure out why I can’t run it but watching the playthrough posted this seems like a really cool conscept Would you be willing to have it runable on the web? Instead of having to Download it but anyway seems like a great game jam game for sure! The art is certainly good!

Most people are still on Mojave because Big Sur has a lot of issues, maybe make it backwards compatible?

I have has less bugs in big sur than high serra or mojave, if there is something in Mojave that breaks the application that is an apple issue and there is nothing i can do to fix that. It’s not that i wont try it’s that i can’t try due to how apple does things. I’m not wiping my laptop to downgrade into an OSX that i hated. So like the guy who had issues with windows 7 said, “these are the risks you take by running old software”

Yeah, there’s a lot to be said for good graphics in a fetish game. Doesn’t need to be realistic, just needs to be visually appealing.

For such a simple concept I feel this is one of the most polished entries I have had the pleasure to play! It�s a fun (what I would describe as) strategy lite game that brings me back to the days of Armor Games. I love the design of the sprites and the transformation animations are quite well done. The unit variety is also quite nice as well. I also love how you need to transform the units after they spawn instead of just spawning them.

Unfortunately, the game feels a bit unresponsive at times mainly due to the fact that honey takes about a half a second to be able to be picked up after it hits the ground which resulted in me missing the bee I wanted to pick it up a few times. Along with that having to be so far forward to collect the pollen makes it hard to admire the well-done animations when the bees do pick up the honey.

All in all a very fun concept. Unfortunately, its one of those games that is so simple I am not sure how the game could really be improved outside of just adding more content.

Very polished entry with astonishing sprite/animation work and character design. Each bee type had a ton of visual personality, and the fetish was well executed through the various transformations. It kills me that this is not higher on the list, but the lack of a story and real writing beyond the well done tutorial is what held it back. Still, loved it, I have no complaints.

Thank ya for those review.

About the little delay on the honey dropped, it was made on purpose for one reason… We thought that if the honey could land directly on the unit it would count as direct control and therefor be out of the theme. We were unsure of how strict this rules would be apply so we added this just in case. If we update the game from now on, it will be the first thing to be remove.

As for the lack of story, obviously it was the sacrifice we made to focus fully on the gameplay. Our strategie from the start was betting everting on the gameplay and the visual and not loosing time with a story

This was a good approach, the love that was put into the gameplay and visuals are clear and very impressive.
