Beesweeper
A little game called Beesweeper inspired by Minesweeper, but with hexagonal tiles and bees instead of mines. Nothing big, just a little game created as a personal experiment/challenge in a few hours.
Controls: Left-click on the hexagons to reveal them, and right-click on them to mark them as bees. Reveal all empty spots to win the game.
Options: You can choose the size of the grid and the amount of bees in it.

Cool. I like the theme and the design.
If you are still interested in developping a game using the minesweepter mechanics, I would love to get to play something with that design with addition features like:
- Both mouse buttons clear the aread around a tile with a number, just like in the original game.
- Progression: you pick a set of fixed maps to play in order (alternating between one easy and one hard, and increasing the difficulty of both steadily until the end)
- There are about three or four "worlds" with different variations of yellow and differnt bee species.
- Challenges: a meny listing challenges: "find x bees in x seconds", "reach level 10", collect x honey").
- Unlockables: three different designs for the flags
- Goals/quests: Cells completely surrounded by bees are filled with honey, and the player need to collect a minimum amount of honey on every levels.
- Scenario: You are working as a beekeper, or a bear or an something looking for honey...
- Enhanced Interactivity: bees move at every five clicks, and they spawn new bees every fifteen clicks.
If you eventually develop this please let me know. Thanks.
Fantastic game! Simple but nice version of minesweeper. The bees are cute :)
Thanks a lot Luis! I'm glad you like it :)
hey so this is good but there is a vr game that thought of this already not saying you copied but just think you should know
Glad you enjoyed it. I know this isn't an original idea. This was just a little hobby game I made in a day or two. Thanks for letting me know anyway! :)
ok
Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. Exhibit A-- or should I say Exhibit B?--Beesweeper! This is one I'll pick up time and time again when I have something else I should be doing.
Thank you so much for your kind words and your donation! It's much appreciated :)
Pretty fun! Only issue is that since the bees are randomized before the player clicks the first square, they can end up losing immediately. In other Minesweeper-like games, it's generally fixed so that the first cell that a player clicks should not contain a mine. Otherwise, good job! ^.^
Thank you very much for your feedback! I thought about this, but didn't think about a solution. Now that you mention one, it seems so simple. Can't believe I didn't think of it. Anyways. I've updated the game now, with your solution implemented. Thanks again.
