Experience the joy of flight as Beeing, a decidedly un-bumbling bee on a mission to save lost comrades scattered through nectar-filled fields. Collect as much of the sweet stuff as possible to post amazing high scores.

• CONTROLS AS SWEET AS HONEY
Easy-peasy touch controls let you concentrate on saving bees and racking up point multipliers. Slide your finger up and down the screen to guide Beeing through hazardous courses across five episodes, including midnight flights over a farm and a gorgeous field of flowers.

• POWER-UPS THAT STING LIKE A BEE
Your odds of success skyrocket when you collect power-ups, such as a magnet that attracts nectar and a bubble that absorbs two enemy collisions. The ghost disguise temporarily turns Beeing invisible. And before trying to squeeze through tight passages, snag the shrink power-up.

• TWO WAYS TO PLAY
Soar through the mutli-episode story or see how long you can stay afloat in survival mode. Fly as far as you can through obstacle-filledstages, avoiding bug zappers, spiders, insecticide clouds, and more nasties than you can shake a stinger at.

• NECTAR FOR THE EYES
Incredible CG graphics might have you confusing Beeing for the latest CG animated blockbuster. This is one game that's perfect for the whole family.

Thanks for the video, Sanuku. The game looks quite appealing to me and a certain purchase.

The developer posted a nice article on making Beeing:

Beautifully done. But it's super simplistic. It makes mighty mouse seem like a reflex test.

Did you try the Survival Mode? That's way more challenging the the Story one.

Beeing is very polished and has great graphics and perhaps due to the really simple gameplay, may be best appreciated by kids. I like it well enough but find it less then compelling.

[H00ligan]

I definitely feel chillingo should state its for young children. As a side note it also made me motion sick. Only jet pack joyride has held that honor. Weird. I'm sure that's my shortcoming not the games. But yah. This is a game for very young children.


I did try survival. Still a game for toddlers. And that's fine. I just wish it was specified.

I also felt like this game was meant for kids. I really wanted to like it, but found myself board with it pretty quickly and it was too easy. Fly With Me, Mighty Mouse and tons of other game like this are much more challenging and engaging IMO.
