Description | Busy little drones collecting honey.
============== Yeah, although I didn't quite understand what Qix was getting at with the top left, atob persuaded me to redo this map. I've de-messified the drones, at the approval of atob himself. This was originally a 10 minute challenge map, but, er, isn't really eligible anymore. Enjoy. |

Bees communicate through dancing. There are two types of dances: the round dance, and the waggle dance. The round dance notifies other bees of food sources closer to the hive and the waggle dance helps locate food sources much further away. Drones have a similar communication system. However, the round dance being performed here signals an intruder. The drones won't actively chase you, but the dance (and their symbiotic relationship with the gauss turret) is extremely effective at keeping threats from their sweet, sweet nectar reserves. Stay aware of your surroundings and you just might make it out alive, honey. — origami_alligator

this is practically perfect
this set of enemies is the most reasonably and fairly aggressive set of enemies I've ever encountered, they have such a perfect dichotomy and combined with the very smooth and easy-to-maneuver-on tiles makes for such a good experience

Hmm...
I don't like how straight-forward it is. There's no path splitting at all... the whole "always-in-danger" thing is kinda cool, but... meh.

Before the edit, you had to wait 3-5 secounds otherwise doing that (see demo) would get you stuck between the 2 drones.

About that comment...
In the previous version of the map, you had to waste time to get the gold in the upper left. Now that you've fixed it, I find this map a lot more attractive.

Slick.
I much prefere. It has that chaotic yet orderly feel of an actual hive. Very nice. Very episodic.
