Funky Bee
Never heard of this game
before, but I am a sucker for any game with the word "funky" in
it, so I downloaded and played the game. I did not know what to
expect from the game, but I was surprised to find it was
essentially a Xevious game, but you are a bee instead of a space
ship. The goal of
the game is to fly around the forest and collect honey by
running over flowers. As you zip along, lots of bad insects
come to try and kill you. You can dodge them or just shoot them
with what I guess is a modified stinger. If you make it all the
way through the level, you go to the hive and dump off all your
honey. That is essentially the game.
(Did someone say honeycombs?)
Funky Bee is another game that
has a rarity in video games, deadly plants. Like Space Harrier,
if you hit a tree, you die. So you not only have to watch out
for the deadly insects and collect honey, but you need to watch
out for trees which will splat you. Sorry, but you cannot shoot
down the trees, you are just a bee after all.
The graphics are bright and
quite primitive. While you can tell what everything is, they
are a bit on the bland side. The music isn't much better. This
pretty much sums up the game, pretty bland and forgettable.
Guess there is a reason I never heard of the game before.
This is just a review of the arcade machine.
