While the core, predictable “hive under threat” storyline is quite cute, some elements and side missions feel lazy, even for kids’ writing. Sharp turns can be done with ease–probably the right decision, given you’re controlling a bee–but you almost always overcompensate.īee Simulator’s developers have also fundamentally misunderstood upside-down controls, too once you find yourself in this position, left and right are reversed and the camera goes a bit wild, so you find yourself guessing your way back to the right way up. While the controls are serviceable for the most part, they’re also horrifically twitchy, especially in those aforementioned races. Strafe, on the left stick, is so under-responsive that it may as well not exist. Out of controlīee Simulator’s control scheme combines entry-level flight sim with FPS movement: lateral movement on the left stick and directional turning on the right ascend and descend are on the shoulder buttons, which you’ll use about five times maximum. Where the game gets tough is when 3D movement is required, and it’s all because of unbalanced controls. Dances are cute and part of how bees work in real life, but it’s difficult to see any challenge in them.įights are repetitive and unchallenging.
Fights can vary in difficulty but you’re hard-pushed to lose them, especially when the input patterns can be identical. The game doesn’t make it obvious that you need to use the top part of the HUD to discover these, but once you get the hang of it, it’s straightforward. Standard missions: Here, you’ll find yourself helping other bees, animals and so on to further the overall storyline.Sting: A straightforward bully-stinging escapade (which, like me, you may soon eschew in favor of solely targeting children and dancing adults) and.Dance: A Simon Says-like directional game, where you mimic another bee to get directions to a target.Fight: A quick-time event-style input battle, usually against wasps, some of which are inexplicably French but will always, uniformly, be nasty pieces of work.It’s one for parents to complete on behalf of their kids, for sure Race: Your classic “fly through hoops to beat a rival” mode, often hampered by cheating AI, poorly-placed power-ups, evil corners and surprisingly difficult criteria.Collect: Flying through hoops to collect pollen from flowers, which are also grouped into different types of rarity which you identify with your Bee Vision."Honey Park" - serves as the game's setting.
