When you receive enough, you return to the hive to deposit your loot and awarded knowledge points that can be used to unlock a series of goodies including the appearance of your bee. The gameplay in Bee Simulator revolves around flying, avoiding humans and other dangers, collecting the pollen by flying into it. Cue your role in scouting about for a new place to migrate to. I was hoping for a Fantastic Mr Fox type retaliation, alas the queen is a pacifist and suggests they find another home.
Clearly, they aren’t taking selfies, so your bee goes back to the queen to report this. Early on, the bee notices some humans in constructor gear hanging around their tree. Your bee starts out as a honey bee and must venture out into the big wide world to collect pollen for the hive. My wife argued that’s not the only species I don’t get, but I wasn’t really listening at the time.īee HQ is located in a tree in a busy park. Interestingly, the facts in the game – often through loading screens – are very informative and give an insight into a species I don’t know enough about. Unless bees also read, chances are we don’t share that much in common with them, so the game makes attempts to humanise them with feelings and motives for their part in making the world go around. If you want to side with the bees, they need to be likeable and relatable. You see, this is an educational game and is very much from the bee’s perspective. Not that I’m an expert, but they’re quite the contrast to the intro. So when it got to the actual bee models, I was mildly surprised that they weren’t this magical representation where they’re wearing bows and drink lattes from Star Buzz or something else with a play on words. Even the narrator, who gives a brief history of bees wouldn’t be out of place as a kids presenter of sorts. The opening reminds me of one of those Disney interactive storybooks you get on the iPad (other tablets are available): illustrations are warm with soft edges, and the soundtrack is like the aforementioned Mouse House’s Blu-Ray menus. I’m with you on ‘how can you make a game out of a bee that isn’t a cartoon?’ so let’s take a look at what it’s all about and whether it’s worthy of your pennies. Bee Simulator focuses on the lives of bees as a standalone story, not some tie-in on a new Pixar title. I had my fun with fish puns with The Fisherman – Fishing Planet, so I’ll beehave with this one. Good job guys, now step aside for the gaming industry’s turn: Bee Simulator by Varsarv. But, thanks to people like Mark Wahlberg and Jerry Seinfeld, public perception has changed and now it’s ok to like bees.
Sometimes due to their own political views, and other times it’s related to those swines, the wasps.
