B.E.E - Brave Explorer Evangeline

Be a bee. A brave bee... a very brave bee. Meet Evangeline - the bravest of bees.

This is our entry for Ludum Dare 56.
An updated post JDJam version with some fixes is available.

How to play

Zoom around in the endless, procedurally generated world and collect nectar.

Controls

There are many ways to control Evangeline.

Keys	Action
W / S	Forward / Backward
A / D	Strive left / right
Q / E	Roll left / right
R / F	Up / Down
Arrow up / down	Pitch forward / backward
Arrow left / right	Yaw forward / backward
Space	Speed boost

Alternatively, you can use the mouse to control pitch and yaw.

Or use the touchpads? (if not visible => check the options page)

What to do

• Collect nectar to get faster.
• Bring back 10 nectar to your home.
• (rinse and repeat)

Conditions

There are none - we ran out of time. Death is hinted at in one case. Winning is not possible as the only thing in live that is certain, is death.

Key features

• Procedurally generated map (no limit set)
• Awesome effect sounds (not the background / ambience though - these were stolen)
• Somewhat playable (maybe even on mobile through browser)
• Neverending "fun"?

Screenshots

Known issues

• Not all items have colliders (Bumblebee)
• Boost bar overlaps nectar count
• Boost can be used while not moving (on purpose, trust us :D)
