The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the beautiful and varied artwork that enhances the overall experience, while others criticize the low-quality visuals and pixelation issues, particularly when zooming in. Many users express a desire for improved artwork quality and vector graphics to enhance clarity and challenge. Overall, while the game features charming art styles and enjoyable aesthetics, it falls short of contemporary graphical standards expected by players.
“The artwork is beautiful, pleasing to the eye.”
“The artwork is varied and visually pleasing, matching the audio and themes of the game.”
“This is a lovely hidden object game, where you are trying to find cute little bees and bee-related stuff in beautiful scenes with different art styles.”
“The artwork itself felt poor as well as low quality, and the bees look more like flies.”
“Regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is very low, beneath what PC gamers have come to expect in this era of cutting-edge photorealistic 3D graphics.”
“Using vector artwork is crucial for games like this, and this game would greatly benefit from it, especially for zoomed-in areas where pixelation causes messy visuals.”

The music in the game is widely praised for its relaxing and calming qualities, effectively complementing the artwork and enhancing the overall experience. Players appreciate the variety of tracks, with some scenes featuring unique music that matches the visuals, although not all tracks resonate equally with everyone. The ability to adjust music and sound settings adds to the enjoyment, making it a perfect backdrop for a leisurely gaming session.
“The music is relaxing, the sound effects are cute, the game is around an hour long and very cheap, what's to hate?”
“I like the way the music complements each image.”
“The music is very calming and the gameplay feels challenging and rewarding at the same time as the unlimited hints, lack of time limit and the fact that you don't get punished for misclicking make it so even people who might have a harder time finding the bees can still have fun.”
“I'm pretty sure level 6 has bee movie music.”
“Pictures are pretty, music is very relaxing.”
“It does what it says on the tin: you get to look at 10 different artworks from 10 different artists, some actually very fun to look at, with different unintrusive music for each -- and then you go and click on bees (and a couple related items) until you found them all.”
