Hi all, As the title says, I've released a game! It's only available on Android at the moment, (the costs to become an Apple Developer are too high for me at the moment, but that may change) and the game is called Retro Bee, so please visit the Play Store, (if you have an Android phone) and download it. Please don't forget to tell everyone you know, on Twitter, Bookface, AA meetings, etc, and if you could give it a five star rating that would also be good. Thanks! John.  _________________John Vella BSc (Hons), PGCE - Still the official forum prankster and crude remarker  Sorry  I'll behave now. Promise

I've found it on the store and will try it later (crap work connection), but should you post a browser link for sharing?

Update time: SOMEONE BOUGHT THE PAID FOR VERSION! Only another 449,999 copies to sell, and then I can retire! That's what the wife said, and who am I to argue? Although technically, I think she means leave work and make games full time, but still... By the way, the sequel is now under development. I thinking of a play on Die hard for the title - "Retro Bee 2 - Bee Harder" or just plain silly with "Retro Bee 2 - Electric Boogaloo" _________________John Vella BSc (Hons), PGCE - Still the official forum prankster and crude remarker Sorry I'll behave now.

Oh, like a vertical flappy bird, kind of...
...and kind of equally infuriating. Damn you, Vella!

Thanks, Bratty, and thanks for the feedback, everyone. If you can think of any way to improve the game please feel free to post here, and if it's frustrating, don't give up... practice makes... less rubbish! Edit to add: By the way, the highest score I have seen was one of the electricians at work, who got 38. He did play it for 45 minutes straight though! _________________John Vella BSc (Hons), PGCE - Still the official forum prankster and crude remarker Sorry I'll behave now. Promise

I haven't played it yet but can I ask:
On the store screenshot it says "tap to jump" so is the bee jumping rather than flying?
What are those sex toy-looking probes attacking the bee?
