The gameplay is engaging, featuring enjoyable exploration and mechanics, with players appreciating the discovery of controls not explicitly taught. However, there is a desire for additional features like upgrades, challenges, and light building elements to enhance the experience and create larger, more complete levels. Overall, it presents a strong concept for bee-based gameplay.
“I enjoyed exploring the world and the game mechanics. Although the game teaches you most of the controls, I found the ones they didn't tell you fun to discover myself.”
“I think adding simple mechanics like bee upgrades (speed, capacity), extra challenges using achievements, and maybe some light building elements (like building checkpoints) would have made for much larger levels and made it feel more like a complete Sokpop game.”
“A surprisingly strong concept demo for bee-based gameplay.”
