Busy Bee

Six bees · one honeycomb

Keys move the bat clockwise round the hive by default, which reads backwards once a bee roams to the far side — flip the third toggle to map them to the screen instead. Drop speed below scales the balls only, not the bats.

Who's working

Tap a bee to take her place. Anything you leave alone flies itself. Plug in a controller and it claims a bee.

Paste a pack code to load it, or copy this one to keep your work.

Controls

Four keys per bee: two to slide, one to catch, one to go transparent.

Catch arms the bat — the next drop sticks to it. Carry it anywhere, tap again to let go. A carried drop keeps its colour; carrying isn't hitting.

Ghost makes your bat transparent while held, so drops pass straight through. Wave an orange drop past a red bat without spoiling it.

On a controller: stick or d-pad slides, A catches, RB or B ghosts.

Bats move by key, pad or the on-screen arrows only — the mouse doesn't steer them.

Hovering…

The comb waits.
