Look: 9/10 Wow, beautiful. The character sprite is excellent, the water has a great feel to it, and the overall setting just feels... nice. I've been noticing this lighthearted, feel-good look to more and more games as I get into '82.

I also really like the hive graphic, but it was hard to get a good screenshot of it cuz it's the end of the level/round heh.

Sound: 7/10 I always like "actual music" in these games, and the "song" is cute enough. But most the sound effects are mildly annoying (tho I will say some reminded me of the upcoming Mario era sounds).

Play: 8/10 Wow, I'm surprised how much I liked this. I've been enjoying these vertically scrolling shooters more lately. The controls were tight. I love that there are actual ends to the challenges/rounds; I feel like the challenge/learning curve is well-balanced among rounds.

Feel: 9/10 I absolutely love the look to this, and the gameplay is well-pulled-off for this style. I always like when I feel good at a game and I felt relatively good at this game (but it also had a healthy challenge that made me not able to get past round 3). Plus, it's just a cute concept. I love bees heh, and I love our flower/ornamental garden at our home. You must give this a shot if you like lighthearted bright games at all, or if you like shoot em ups tbh.

Attachment: 8/10 Not that I think I will be returning to arcade shoot em ups all the time, but this will definitely be a go-to. It's up there with Space Invaders, etc.
