Very cool look to the game. The occasional sounds when the bees appeared made me feel like that the bees were a normal part of life that I had to accept. I agree with the BagelMaster that the bullets travel too slow, and that it is near impossible to defeat a bee once it has started flying away with a plant.
Also I could not figure out how to go to a next level. Do I need to save all the plants to do that? I kept getting a Game Over screen when the time/bonus score ran out.
To get through a level, you have to push Max's TV out the back wall by spraying him several times. The amount of shots it takes to beat him increases as the levels get higher.
I realize I glossed over the game description and saw that you had described it in there. Thank you for telling me. I played the levels of your game and found them fun but repetitive. I stopped after beating level 20.
Really cool aesthetic! I'm a big fan of seizure-inducing games. Glad you submitted!
Some things that I'd say could use improvement are the gun projectiles travelling too slow (I found it very hard to hit the bees) and the lack of new mechanics introduced in levels. I'm also not a fan of the game restarting to level 1 after losing a level, but it seems like that's part of the arcade inspiration.
The projectile speed was tricky. My original plan, where the bees attacked you, allowed for it to blast faster. I had to get rid of that because of time, and so I was stuck making it to where the particles traveled far enough... but not so far you could just stand at the reload station and win. All of this was to be fixed in the level layout phase... which didn't happen :) Thanks for playing, and for the feedback!

Oh yeah, the variety is definitely not there! Thanks for giving it another try. That is a lot of levels to make it through :)

My high score's level 8
