About the game

Guard the meadow from a honeybee swarm on an origami dragonfly. Two puffs of light at a time — make them count.

A swarm of friendly storybook bees pours out of a honeycomb hanging from a branch on a sunny afternoon, settles into formation, then peels off to dive at your origami dragonfly. Only two puffs of light can be in the air at once, so every shot has to be chosen, not sprayed. Queens take two hits and score far more when caught mid-dive with their drone escorts. A queen can open a honey beam and carry your dragonfly away — puff her and it returns, flying twice the light. From round 2 a grumpy cartoon hornet bumbles across the field: it takes three puffs and is worth double if you stop it mid-dive. Flower rounds drop the attack for a bonus pattern, the rounds keep getting faster, and three camera views let you fly classic, close behind the dragonfly, or straight on. Eleven languages and gamepad support.

How to play

  1. Touch the RIGHT side with your other hand to puff light, and hold it down to keep puffing. Only two puffs can be in the air at once, so make them count.
  2. The swarm parks in a grid, then peels off to swoop at you. Puff them before they reach you.
  3. A Queen can drop a honey beam and carry your glider away. Puff that Queen and your glider flies back — two gliders, two puffs!
  4. Every fourth round the bugs only dance — they never dive. Puff all of them for a big bonus.
