Very simple.  I like it, but really hard.  Are there savepoints?  If there are there should be more.  Can you squeeze them in in one event?

[Hideous]

You should use Construct instead, I reckon. No limits on the events there.

Of course there are savepoints. On every block with a thin, yellow line at the top, you can press A to create a savestation.

"Never" sounds like an incredibly useful event.

Actually, it's very useful for debugging, the equivalent of commenting out a line in a text-based programming language.

You should use Construct instead, I reckon. No limits on the events there.

I think the point is to make a game with as few events as possible on purpose, not due to any inherent limitations of the app.

Anyway, the game is simple but fun. As long as the screens follow a nice difficulty curve, there probably doesn't need to be any external motivation, although a collectibles + time scoring might work. If this isn't how it works already, maybe you could free up an event by lining the top and bottom of the screen with spikes, instead of killing the player arbitrarily there. Also, is there any reason why the save stations are player-placed instead of being automatically triggered, unless you were planning on making it less linear later on?

[dustin]

It´s like: Event -->  Bee colliding with spike.
           Action --> Destroy bee.

An event can also be e.g. start of frame, speed of bee=4, always, never, every 1.0 second.

Hope you understand now :>

oh ok but what program is this?  flash? game maker?  it seems like an interesting system.  Is the 20 limit self imposed or imposed by software?  What is construct?

[William Broom]

Wow, for a while there I really thought MMF only let you have 20 events in your game
Anyway, it's really rather fun. Much as I love Psychosomnium I found the bee section very annoying, but your bee movement is subtly different and more enjoyable to use. You don't need to mash the button nearly as much, and I love the way you can get into a rhythmic 'skipping' sort of motion.
I think your save point system is bad though. I'm guessing they're based on the checkpoint system in Brain Damaged Toon Underworld? I assume cactus is going to use that to make mindfuck puzzles. In Brave Honey Bee, though, it feels very superfluous. I mean, you can only make checkpoints... at the checkpoints. Just make the checkpoints automatically save when you land on them.

Oh. They made it sound like they had an event limit.

[dustin]

oh ok yeah I was pretty confused about that too but multimedia fustion and the 20 event limit is self imposed... got ya

[Hideous]

OH and you asked what construct is: scirra.com

could you please add some other download mirrors?

[Kisguri]

The reason their is a 20 event limit is he is competing in A Multimedia Fusion development contest, the goal of which is to develop the best game with tough limited parameters, like the maximum of twenty Events or Lines....

No, the savesystem is not inspired from BDTUW. I just wanted to create some sort of savesystem which didn´t would take too many events. The savesystem is from a game which i made almost a year ago.

I´m very pleased with the savesystem so it´s probably not going to be changed.

Why do you like it so much? Does it reduce the number of events? If so, that's perfectly alright. Otherwise, I really can't see any advantages over a normal, more intuitive save system.

I´m pleased with the savesystem because it reduces the events compared to the other savesystem alternatives, and still it works good.

Here are some new screenies:

I love that line.

sum man stoled you are hunny

[MekanikDestructiwKommando]

fun 

[cactus]

Haha, I recognize that beehive from somewhere. I have to ask why you seem to be a bit reluctant to mention that the game is inspired by Psychosomnium... I don't really care about credits, but yer takin gameplay concept, style and now even directly ripping graphics from my games. So I'm just starting to think it's a bit odd. If you think not mentioning this will give you a better chance at winning that competition or something, then I'd understand it a bit more.

Anyways, good luck with the game! Looking forward to the next demo

[jwaap]

You should credit cactus man... This is obviously inspired by psychosomnium, so why not just put a message saying: "inspired by psychosomnium" somewhere?

Other then that, nice game man, but we don't want people going like:
