Miracle Bees

MAIN RULES:

  • Miracle Bees are awesome
  • They can do anything
  • How are you today?

OTHER RULES:

  • Click a flower to steal perfume
  • Lead the bees back to the hive

Miracle Bees was made for the ludum dare 48 hour game development competition. This is a fun little game based on the theme "swarm". You have basically the magical ability to steal perfume from flowers to lead your bees back to the hive, but watch out, there are horseflies ready to gobble your poor peaceful buzzing little bees up at a moments notice.

Back in 2006, when I first put this on my website, I had these thoughts:

It plays sort of like an RTS, without all the fighting. However the game could be a little, well, faster. I have plans to this end, but like a lot of my side projects, don't hold your breath! Anyhow, it's a pretty fun, neato little game so give it a try!

Today, I really don't have plans to do anything with this, but it was satisfying to revive it fully 20 years later.

F11 toggles fullscreen. There is a bug where on some systems in fullscreen the rectangles don't scale properly. This may be AMD- and/or Linux-specific. It relates to `glPointSize()` and viewport scaling.
