Playing this one a lot. Immaculate art & designs

por 90cents valeu a pena, tem gráficos de DKCountry e boas musicas (Siactro, dnv)


This was a very cute little experience. I'm very glad that, considering these levels play vertically instead of horizontally, there's a bee raft that spawns and follows you up the level to catch you if you fall. It's not so close that the level becomes piss easy, but not so far that you feel like you need to repeat the whole level over again. There was one level that genuinely freaked me out too for like, 30 seconds, which is more than I expected from a game called Beeny. Also, a cute surprise at the end of the game if you go back to the house after beating the last level. Beeny slay.

my absolute shock when i saw the release year. it plays like a 90s pc game, down to the weird mouse behavior on modern machines

Very short game but worth the very low price of admission (less than a dollar) if you want to experience SNES Donkey Kong Country vibes. The developer did a great job of recreating the "silicon" graphics and feel of the DKC games (including the soundtrack).

As far as the gameplay, this is a sidescrolling platformer with unique physics and very basic concept of jumping from platform to platform while progressing vertically instead of horizontally to reach the top of the level and collect honey pieces. The only control in this game is moving the character and jumping, you cannot defeat enemies as well as you can't die from getting hit nor you can "fall" in pits because you are saved by three fellow bees. All in all, the game is not very challenging in that regard although a time challenge opens up upon beating the game, providing a bit more of replay value.

This game also serves as a preview for the dev's next game, Super Kiwi 64.

DKC-inspired, very simple, very comfy, very short. Play this if you'd like a quick game with DKC vibes and the satisfaction of making some jumps but with simple controls (only jump) and no dying.

A short, sweet, costs-only-a-buck treat.

Very simple but fun vertical platformer. There's this sort of platform of 3 bees that follows off screen beneath you a few platforms down, so if you miss a platform you won't fall all the way down to the bottom, I do think there should've been an option to turn that off, since the levels are super short anyway so it's not like you'd lose that much progress by falling. The only other issue was (mild SPOILERS:) at the end you get a bonus level that sort of acts as a demo/prologue for Super Kiwi 64 (out in December apparently) but that part has no options to change the camera inversion, I assume the actual game will, as Siactro's other games do, it's just something they probably missed here.

it nails the aesthetic it's going for, really nice game to look at. Otherwise it's just okay.

this game took 10 minutes to beat... and for those 10 minutes I was blessed with the pinnacle of gaming

and learning this is the predecessor to the masterpiece Super Kiwi 64?? I got goosebumps. Peak fiction

Que adorable me gusta much-Nivel 7: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Overall Score: ✅80%

So you play as a bee that bounces instead of flying... Weird.
Okay in all seriousness, I wouldn't mind seeing Siactro delving into 2D Platformers in the future.

This felt like a weekend game jam game that the developer decided to charge money for. The art and the music are nice and obviously evocative of Donkey Kong Country, but I didn't find the stage design or gameplay all that compelling. It would've been better to have some nicely crafted side-scrolling stages instead of jumping upwards through nondescript platforms, with not much differentiating levels aside from weather affects and obstacles.

This game is really fun and has some great levels my main complaint with this game is like most of siactro's games lacks enemy's and challenge beyond going fast but just how fun it is to play carries it a lot I really do hope siactro makes there own company so they can make a full 2-5 hour game as they have really proven they have what it takes to make something potentially masterful

What a nice little advertisement for Super Kiwi 64!

this was cute! obviously short, but siactro is always a lock for a fun, well made very short time. the art style is very true to DKC and looks great, and there's some songs i could have been convinced were DKC songs! super excited for kiwi 64, the teaser at the end was rlly fun!


It was fun but had no real content. Completely acceptable for a $0.99 game though lol. Super excited for Super Kiwi 64!

Sure it didnt cost much but... eh. Its hard for myself to feel that enthusiastic on this one given the rather bland level design and horrible text boxes. Its just missing 'something' for me to actually make it memorable.

Another little gem in Siactro's library of skall games. Its a short and sweet little romp that pays homage to DKC.

Go buy it! Its less than a buck on Steam & Switch!
