How to play

Move with WASD or the arrow keys.
E collects honey at a hive, sells honey at the store, and holds to use the outhouse or wash barrel.
Space sprays thieves in the direction you're facing.
Shift puffs smoke — it drives off wasps and calms your bees.
Q grabs a clod of muck off the ground. Press Q again to throw it. Muck hurts three times as much as spray.
P pauses.

There is no map. Remember your landmarks, or buy the compass at the store. Each level has a time limit — when the season ends, the season ends.

Designer question: was it too hard, or did you just need a different plan? If it was too hard, open the Tinker Lab and change ONE number. Then play it again and see if it feels better.

Honey Baron Defeated

Five levels, one very rude rich man, and a great deal of honey. Nicely done.

Talk about it together:
  • Which level was the most fun? What exactly made it fun?
  • Which one was annoying? What would you change?
  • Which thief was the funniest? Why was that one funnier than the others?
  • If there were a Level 6, what's the ONE new thing in it?

Tinker Lab

Change one number. Play for a minute. Ask: more fun, or less fun? That's the whole job.
