About the Game

The Last Humble Bee is a heart-buzzing bumble bee rogue-like where you swashbuckle, bounce, and barrel-blast through a desaturated pixel art world to "Save the Bees" from eternal damnation!

Play as a Swashbuckling Warrior Bee:

Jump, dodge/roll, and attack your way to bumble bee glory!

Customize your own Deck of Magical Upgrades:

A deckbuilding system enables you to choose your own (random) upgrades.

Lose yourself in huge maps:

Explore for treasure or jump into a barrel cannon to blast across the map!

Features:

  • Design, Art, and Audio harken back to the days of 16-bit

  • Bounce over gaps! Duel with enemies! Find treasure! Uncover secrets! Upgrade!

  • A light touch to narrative with humor, levity, and heart

  • De-saturated pixel art with big chunky outlines

  • Challenging gameplay that warmly welcomes newcomers, yet leaves room for expert-level maneuvering

Developer’s Note:

Thanks so much for playing The Last Humble Bee!

I consider this game complete and am now focusing on new projects, but I’m really proud of what we made together. I may revisit Humble Bee down the road, but for now, I’m excited to keep moving forward.

Cheers, Jacob Weersing
