Absolutely loved this game, I know I played it earlier but a commenter reminded me that there's a hard mode so I gave it a go!
After playing through once I got a good feel for some of the mechanics. Like the purple 1000 troop makes your queen stronger; I.e. You can get 6 troops on the field at once instead of 5 (you can get up to 7)
Range bees (750) are fantastic, but easy to kill with a flyer, so I try keeping a "wall of guns" behind at least one or two units for protection. It's not perfect, but it's a good way to hold off enemies for a moment to save up your pollen.
Great job again, Bellybelting! Can't wait to see more!
We have a forum to discuss HC and asked people what they'd like to see. The most popular answers were: New units, more unit upgrades, new enemies, and an utter craving for making the queen even fatter! lol
Though we're very glad about the final product, being honest, the motivation for every single teammate to want to continue might be on the line since we no longer have a goal we want to strive for. Challenging ourselves with such a short timeframe and wanting to win was enough motivation then, but we no longer have that. The idea of money being the next motivation has been set on the table (which implies that the game's next update would be paid as a whole new experience), but we're uncertain about that one.
So, yeah. Even if we think these updates would be pretty awesome, we're still not sure if this'll keep on going... Still, I'm very glad all of you liked our game! I really appreciate all of your support! 💛
i honest;y love this game i did not expect the THICCNESS that was to happen i didn't have a problem with a game aside from it freezing once. again i loved this game
A lot of fun! I have no clue what this genre of game is (I call it linear strategy) but it's always been an interesting one to me. You get plenty of variety in your units that give a good mix of possible strategies.
The range are the most expensive and in my opinion the most useful, but can't attack anything flying and can die in one hit from them. I personally found having a good line of ranged bees behind a couple higher defense warrior bees to just hold the line worked well. Though I ran through different ideas throughout my play through so I'm sure there's many more.
Very fun and addictive, I've played it a few more times since the video. The graphics are great, love all the different bee military designs, and there are (as you'll see) a couple bugs but this is a game jam game so it's to bee expected, and none I ran into were too detrimental. Definitely give it a play!!
I have gotten it to work on my 2k15 mac book air running Big Sur, other people have had issues with the program being broken so you should try and see. If it doesn't work we have no idea why.
are you on mac or windows? and do you have 2 GB of free ram available to run the game? if the answer is no to the second question then you can't run the game in it's current state. The team will be working on optimizing the game more in the future. But it can't be update now because judging is still going on.
It was exported as a Windows Desktop Program and not a Universal Windows Program, so that could be an issue if WDP is for windows 10 and UWP is for older windows versions. (until judging if finished we aren't gonna do anything but the moment that is over we will put out an updated version to fix a few bugs and this issue. sorry for the inconvenience.)
Well, the artistic direction was set out by the amazing Kathens and her adorable style and we used pixel art because that's what I'm good at, hehe... and of course... a mutual liking of fats was key. That doesn't mean that we don't admire Tribal Hunter though!
i like the idea of having unit healers (they can only heal melee units and have next to none hp cant have more than 1 healer on the battle) plus a nice adition is the ability for queen abilities (no idea how that is going to work tough)
This was a very fun strategy game. I like the idea of having the different types of honey do different things to your soldiers. I could see this being expanded on and different types of enemies being added like wasps and ants. Great work! Keep it up!
Fantastic quick game! Love the sprites and even the music! Do you think you'll come back to this project and add some more features like levels or more units?
It's a wonderful little jam game. My only complaints are that I got into a stalemate in hard mode and that the WIN thing covers up the queen's defeat animation, though the latter one can probably be fixed easily by going to a victory screen after the queen's defeat animation finishes.
Very cute and fun! Big fan of like defense games and this hit the spot! One thing i noticed bug wise though was sometimes a unit will just not move? usually when i use the tank honey, and the after winning the next game wont work properly without restarting the whole thing. But in the end its really fun! excelent sprites and bgs and good music!
The next game issue is fixed, The waxer and guard have some logic issue that wasn't able to be ironed out, however they fix themselves when an enemy walk into their range.

Can you post the game on steam someday?
many bugs, pun intended, espacially sprites going missing and honey not generated
Sometimes I wish i knew how to make games, so i could help my favorite creators help grow their games more like this one.
It won't work for me
The game is cool 10/10 :)
Super cool game; I love the graphics, the music, and the gameplay. 10/10 work you guys!
i love the art in this game (especially the queen) I'f love to see a full game similar to this!
This is a great game Maybe one day in the future You can upgrade it
Sure. Why not
My only complaint is that the game suddenly stops working after a bit:/
Other than that, good game!

Hello!
I saw your game on youtube, got curious, and played it myself!
It was the first time I'd seen a strategy game like Honeycombat where your character gets fat!
I think it's a great experiment!
Do you have any plans to update this game in the future?
New army units will be added.
Or existing units can evolve to another level.
The queen bee gets even fatter, etc.
If so, I'll be very happy!
If there is a new version coming out, I would love to support it!
I'm using a translation tool, so the text may be difficult to understand...
However, your game seemed very interesting to me, so I sent you a comment!
Thank you for reading to the end!

nice i like this
Nope still having problems like the other person. It says “Bee_TD is damaged and can’t be opened
Does it work for IMac or the MacOS
I have gotten it to work on my 2k15 mac book air running Big Sur, other people have had issues with the program being broken so you should try and see. If it doesn't work we have no idea why.
ok thanks, I will try it again and see if it works
cute bees.
I want it on steam, then i can buy it :D
I appreciate the gesture! As of now, you can enjoy it here for free!
this is an odd issue which doesn't happen when downloaded from this site onto our testing mac
same, but keep up the good work
any advice?
are you on mac or windows? and do you have 2 GB of free ram available to run the game? if the answer is no to the second question then you can't run the game in it's current state.

windows 7 and 4 gb... 3gb available. I don't even know what the problem is
It was exported as a Windows Desktop Program and not a Universal Windows Program, so that could be an issue if WDP is for windows 10 and UWP is for older windows versions. (until judging if finished we aren't gonna do anything but the moment that is over we will put out an updated version to fix a few bugs and this issue. sorry for the inconvenience.)
it's okay, my use of old software has its risks such as this
are you running a 32bit system or 64bit system?
I couldn't launch the game... the godot icon appears, music and the game play for a few seconds
I wonder how much this game was inspired by a certain weightgain/inflation platformer that released at the start of this year....? :thinking:
....especially since Laura's IN Tribal Hunter, heheh.
Well, the artistic direction was set out by the amazing Kathens and her adorable style and we used pixel art because that's what I'm good at, hehe... and of course... a mutual liking of fats was key.
That doesn't mean that we don't admire Tribal Hunter though!
Heheheh, ahhh, I'm only joking- even if not, I call it a compliment, it's good to have more games like TH- the big tubby bees are a DELIGHT to see.
Glad I saw this post before replying. I don't like tribal hunter, it's not bad but I don't like it.
i like the idea of having unit healers (they can only heal melee units and have next to none hp cant have more than 1 healer on the battle) plus a nice adition is the ability for queen abilities (no idea how that is going to work tough)

the game bugs a lot
no pun intended
All the bee units are super cute. Hope you continue building upon this.
I hope this is continued after the game jam, it looks really fun.
man i hope therell be more
Fantastic quick game! Love the sprites and even the music! Do you think you'll come back to this project and add some more features like levels or more units?
It's a wonderful little jam game. My only complaints are that I got into a stalemate in hard mode and that the WIN thing covers up the queen's defeat animation, though the latter one can probably be fixed easily by going to a victory screen after the queen's defeat animation finishes.
What if we could level up the units a second time, to essentially double both their strengths and weaknesses?
would have been a feature but was cut to save time (this is a game jam game)
only one thing I loved
Very cute and fun! Big fan of like defense games and this hit the spot!

Yay a game all about bees Vespiqueen would be proud
You know the most weirdest thing is? the exe is telling me that it's dangerous to install, can you maybe change it to just a 7zip or normal zip?
That would likely not do anything; even executables can be viewed as unsafe.
played normal and my units would not spawn at all ;w;
Game is nice. But if you try to play one more time after win, there will be only gray screen.
