About The Game

The Bee Hive is a colourful, hand-crafted 3D platformer inspired by the golden age of platforming classics. Built entirely by one developer over 9 years, this solo passion project is packed with charm, chaos and a surprising sting in its tail. The insect kingdom is in danger. Mecha-Spider has sent a rogue signal, leading a full-blown spider uprising to shatter the elemental stones and destroy the natural world as we know it. As Honeybee, you'll dash, sting, climb, zipline, and swim through 16 vibrant levels. From tropical jungles and lava gorges to frozen peaks, floating castles, cyberpunk spider cities and even outer space - on a mission to bring balance back to the insect realm and defeat Mecha-Spider. You won’t face it alone. Alongside you are: Dasher the Snail – your slowest but most loyal hype-man Lovebug the Ladybird – your high-flying, brave bug bestie Mr. Spider – a mysterious ally (or is he?) who may know more than he lets on With fully-voiced characters, bee powers to unlock, quirky gadgets and weapons, dozens of collectibles, platforming puzzles and Lovebug’s flying missions, The Bee Hive is a nostalgic blast for fans of classic adventure. Key Features: 16 handcrafted levels across vibrant biomes Unlock bee powers: sting, shield, climb, zipline, swim Gadgets and weapons to find, build, and use Fully-voiced insect cast full of charm and secrets Collect gems, gear, gadgets, and memories Built solo over 9 years with love, spite, and a lot of bugs… the good kind! If you miss the colour, character, and collectathons of the N64™ era - buzz in. Welcome to The Bee Hive.
