# js13k-2022

JS13KGames entry for 2022, theme is "**DEATH**".



## Bee Kind

You play as BeeKeeper Bunny trying to save the bees.



The bees take pollen from the flowers to their hives, but the blue ZomBees try to steal pollen and break the hives.



Watch out for the grubs which turn into evil blue ZomBees when they eat enough toadstools.



You can collect a gun which shoots super-strength 2000 MGO honey and neutralises the enemies. Once the bees have made enough honey in a hive, new baby bees are born. There is also a JS13K logo which gives temporary invulnerability.



To progress to the next level you need to defeat all the enemies and help the bees grow their colony. The further you progress, the more bees you'll need to safeguard to move onwards.



Clear away toadstools to prevent grubs turning into ZomBees and make space for flowers to grow.



If the bees die out, **we all die**, so this is a crucial mission to increase their numbers.



BEE LUCKY, and BEE KIND.
