I flew into a cobweb to see what would happen. There was a game in a magazine I had as a kid, you see, where you played as a spider. And if you caught a bee, you had to cut it loose in a panic before it could hurt you or damage your web. Here though, albeit seen from the other point of view, it’s a lot less scary. You get a long time limit while a presumably hungover spider slowly spirals toward you, during which you have to click while a fluctuating bar is in the green. Do this three times and you escape. Fail, and… well, you escape, but you’re dizzy for a minute.
Glancing down at the bee ring on my finger as I clicked away in the web, I began to realise that perhaps – bee fan though I was – I wasn’t quite who Bee Simulator was aimed at.
