Beeny

A short and kinda pointless 30 minute game that involves bring a bee up a tree for around ten stages. I will most remember the ghost stage because there is a weird creepy giant humanoid ghost face that looks inappropriately creepy for the type of game this is. The music is absolutely wonderful and I like the graphics but the game needed more than "tree climbing" over and over again. You can't lose on the normal game. After you finish, you play a "super kiwi 64" level that feels totally out of place, and then unlock the speedrun achievements. The speedruns are a joke because all you are doing is climbing the tree, and the time you have is pretty generous to reach the top. I only really had trouble with one of them. It's clearly trying to be like Donkey Kong Country, and there's nothing wrong with that. It massages all the nostalgia brain buttons perfectly and acts as a fun experience, but it's also not really replayable and too shallow to be considered great.

Fun little side scroller! It’s incredibly easy, so don’t go expecting too much of a challenge. The spritework is very reminiscent of Rare’s SNES era, and it looks not only faithful, but beautiful! Would love to see a sequel to this game with more gameplay put into it.
