Great Bee is a PICO-8 game by NotEvenGames. In Great Bee, you play a bee that have to forage all the flowers in every level. The frog and the sun are your enemies. Colliding with them kills you. The sun is moving slowly, but the frog is accelerating over time. The sun can also be helpful because when it touches a flower, it will turn it into a strawberry. When you eat a strawberry, you become a super bee for a few seconds and you can slap the frog to reset its speed.

Thunder Bella the Cloud Chaser is a PICO-8 game by EvilPaper. Bella is trapped in a vicious storm. She needs to fight to survive. Can you beat the evil Thundercloud and save Bella? Use fireworks and handy power-ups to win the battle!

New in this version:

Added a new boss attack pattern, the Mighty Thunderstrike. A bunch of power-ups that actually has an effect on the gameplay and a hefty amount of balancing. I think the game is more playable now. It all ended up in a Just-One-Boss type of game.
