Beeing Review (iOS)

In the game Beeing you will take control of a bumble bee out to rescue its fellow hive mates that have been kidnapped by spiders. Navigate your way through five bee habitat themed levels each with five different stages to complete. Within each of the level’s stages there are three hive mates that need to be rescue. Rescuing them won’t be an easy task their kidnapping spiders have set up web traps, bug zappers, and their flower garden henchmen to stop you. Quickly grab a power up item as they pass by to tip the odds in your favor like a speed boost or a ghost costume that will allow you to pass through objects for a limited time.

Beeing Controls

The control for Beeing is an easy one finger slide, so easy you can play it with one free hand. Simply slide your finger up or down to control your bee’s flight height throughout the level to avoid the obstacles while collecting nectar orbs that will keep your stamina meter up. Beeing is a classic left to right side scroller and the player is at the mercy of the game for flight speed. The designated spot to control your character from is on the right hand of the screen. This would naturally cover up the obstacles, items, and enemies as they come into view. Luckily Beeing can read the player’s finger touches anywhere on screen. There is plenty of room on the left hand side for a finger which in return places the character right next to is so the finger isn’t covering it.

Beeing Music and Graphics

The computer generated graphics of Beeing are visually stunning and push the retina display screen to their limits. The characters and backgrounds look like their straight out of a Pixar film; a Bugs Life comes to mind. The movements of the characters and items are smooth and no matter how much action taking place on the screen the Iphone’s processor is are able to handle them without bogging down and slowing the game play.
