About the Game

A hidden object game where you must find all the bees to complete each level.

Contains all the extra artwork from the Advent version. Consider it the 12 days of Christmas, although there are actually 15 artworks not 12. But it is also the 12th game in the series, so it's kind of like a "pun".

Key features:

🐝 1500+ bees

🖼️ 15 unique artworks
💡 ∞ Unlimited hints if you get stuck
♻️ Restore a small number of bees to a painting so you can find them again!
🍯 Additional bee related objects to find
🎵 Music and ambiance for each artwork
⌨️ Use your keyboard to move/zoom in if you have no scroll wheel
💾 3x save slots
🗑️ Reset progress entirely and play again
🕒 Timer included to show how long you took to complete each level
🎁 New level unlocked each day (optional).

Context:

The brief was simple. I commissioned artists to create a fantasy Christmas/winter world, and hide as many bees as they can inside it. Now it’s your job to find them all! With 15 art pieces to choose from, and 1500+ bees, you will have a lot of searching to do.

Controls:

Use your mouse to move around the image and zoom in / out. When you find a bee, click it and it will disappear. You can also use WASD to move and the arrow keys to zoom.

Difficulty:

A full range of difficulty is included, but all levels start unlocked*, your progress is saved as you play, and you can use hints if you get stuck.

Get immersed:

Each painting has its own music and ambiance to help you connect with the world, as you search for all the bees.

Replayable

You can restore a small number of bees back into a painting so you can find them again! It’s much harder when there are only a few bees left (especially randomly). You can also use up to 3 save slots so you can replay without progress loss. Alternatively, you can reset your progress for the entire game if you’d like to start over.
