Game Thoughts - I commissioned some bees 0 by Follow the Fun

Note: This is a repost from our Tumblr.

So, we watched someone play A Building Full of Cats one time, and we kinda wanted to play something similar. Searched on Steam and found this free game! With 1000+ bees to find, what could possibly go wrong?! - Gure

What’s It About?

Well, it’s not really a story-based game, so I have almost nothing to say about what it’s about… But if ya gotta know, it’s a hidden object game where you gotta find bees hidden in various illustrations which were commissioned by the dev. That’s pretty much the whole premise, hence the title.

And this is only one of a whole series of really affordable hidden object games for the PC!

Art

I would consider the art the main draw of this game. After all, they did commission some art with bees, right?

The art looks like what you would expect in hidden object games, and in a good way! All of them get pretty surreal, and that’s cool. There’s so many little details that I can’t help but take a good look at. Definitely a must if you’re gonna be searching for little bees in them.

Audio

Not really much to say when it comes to the background music, since they did purchase it from a stock music website and I couldn’t play it on stream as a result… But the ambient sounds that they used did fit the images, at least. Liked the spoopy one a lot in particular.

Also liked the little bee sounds that played whenever you clicked on the bees. It’s cute, hehe.

Gameplay

It’s what you would expect for pretty much any hidden object game. You simply click on the left mouse button to get any bees you see on the artwork. Additionally, you can use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out, click and drag the left mouse button to move the image around, and press H to momentarily show an arrow pointing to an area with a bee in it.

Aside from the bees, there are also other bee-related items that you can find and click on per stage.

From my experience, it all flows smoothly, nothing complicated, except for the times when I meant to click but dragged instead, but that's either me or the mouse lol. I thought it would take me a really long time to find all the bees and items, but it’s pretty quick, in my opinion. And it looks like you can replay the whole thing again just to challenge yourself to get better times, since the game does take note of how long you took to find everything.

I wonder if it would be a better choice if it was the right mouse button to pan instead, though…?

Overall

It’s a nice, short game that you can play if you’re bored and don’t have that much cash on you. Not to mention that you can get to appreciate some art that really talented people made! Not sure if I just didn’t look for it, they didn’t do it, or I didn’t remember, but it would be nice if I could see who made the nice art.

Either way, you can find it on Steam.
