Hello folks!

I am Ian and I warmly welcome you to my game page.

Introduction

The following game is rated F for fun. Those pesky ants want to destroy your hive and eat all the honey you have produced. You control an assembly of bees, and your goal is a simple one: to protect your Queen. By defeating ants you render the bee Queen safe and simultaneously keep it alive.

About the game

Choose from several types of bee units and actions and try to stop swarms of ants from reaching your Queen bee. The game is turn based and requires you to build a simplified economy model in order to provide necessary currency to buy lines of defense. 

Since the game was created solely for Ludum Dare 46 its content is restricted. Nonetheless the player may choose from four units, each having different abilities in order to stop unrelenting hordes of ants. Currently ant enemies come in two variants, differing in health points. 

Since there is no tutorial, please refer to the following guide:

• During your turn you can place new units as well as order attacks.
• During enemy turn the ants move towards the Queen and if they have already encountered a bee, they attack it. The Counterattack of bees is automatic. Beware though, collectors are vulnerable and defenseless!
• At the beginning of own turn collectors generate honey which acts the in-game currency.
• You lose if an ant reaches the queen.
• You win if you survive all waves of enemies.
• Every wave there are more of enemies and tougher ants are more common.
• Use left mouse button to choose a unit, then again press left mouse button to place the unit on an empty field. Actions may be performed only on living enemies!
• Press right mouse button to cancel unit/action selection tool.

Playable bees:

• collector - a simple drone that has a 50% of generating an unit of honey at the beginning of each turn,
• beeguard - a powerful defensive unit capable of holding and tackling even toughest enemies,
• strike unit - a one-use only order to sting a chosen enemy for 1 point of damage,
• trike team - a devastative attack launched at an enemy of your choosing for 3 damage.
