A downloadable game

If you think pollination is so simple why don't you try it yourself?! In this genre-defining puzzle game, you'll be helping your hard-working bees navigate around the flowerbed so that they can collect all the pollen and make it back to their hives as efficiently as possible. The instruction scheme, born of wordplay upon the jam's title - "Per Aspera Ad Astra", will require your bees to always go through two stops before sitting down to rest. Just remember that the bees are simple creatures and do not comprehend diagonal movement!

Controls:

  • Use your Left Mouse Button to first select a bee and then two targets for it to move through.
  • Left-click on the blank (filled) to unselect.
  • Use the Rewind button to restart the level if you're stuck.
  • Your objective should be to collect as much pollen as possible - but it's not a requirement to finish the level.


Known Bugs:

  • Round Bees
  • Square Bees

Known Errors:

  • Sometimes after rewind-upon-invalid-move, the bee will not be selectable.
    Remedy: Use the home button and reload the level via level select.
  • Sometimes, as a result of playing faster than the UI animations do, the bee blank will remain empty even though a bee has been selected. This is a purely visual bug.
  • Sometimes the sparkly object highlights will not be cleared and remain visible even after it should disappear. This is purely a visual bug as the tile is correctly not selectable anymore.
  • Sometimes rewind-upon-invalid-move may clear too many (often all) pollen collection indicators (flower stickers) on the right side of the UI. This is a visual error though and rest assured that the pollen collected prior to the rewound moves still counts :) But if you wanna make sure, just gotta beat the level with no mistakes i guess :P
