Bumbling

I spent hours playing this game. 🐝 it was so relaxing and cosy. 

In "Bumbling" you play a bee venturing out into the world, discovering new sources of delicious nectar, which you draw into little hexes.
Back in the hive you tell the others all about it by dancing, which is a fun little memory mini-game. Who wouldn't want to wiggle one's butt and waggle one's wings?

"Bumbling" is a very cute approach to hex crawl / map drawing games. The rules are very well written and easy to follow.

I played "Bumbling" during a very difficult time and your butt wiggling bees helped me escape from reality and let me enter their little world, at least for a while. Thank you for that!

yoooo is very goood gane love it 

Really fun and relaxing game! I enjoyed it very much. I played with a friend, so we were two bees instead of one. The game lasted us 3 sessions of 2 hours each. Highly recommend! 

Sooo cute. I'm really looking forward to downloading this and trying life as a bumble bee for an evening.

will you put it on steam? 

This is such a cute, chill game! I wasn't sure where to start but I just started exploring! It's such a cute game.  Thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So I was reincarnated as a bee, so what?

I recently did a live flip through of Bumbling. This video includes other games, but I have it timestamped for Bumbling. Bumbling is a well-organized and well-formatted game that offers a relaxing way to build a map. I'm sorry for how inept I am at pronouncing the author's name! 

Bumbling is more of a guided map-drawing activity, in a bee-dance-guided fashion. You can form a small narrative as you go, and journal if you wish. As you play you'll fill up a map with the areas around the hive, and you can imagine friendships with the animals nearby if they direct you to flowers. Other bees can be directed to flowers you find, with a light memory mini-game.

It's a very mellow activity.

Bumbling is a solo RPG about bees. You play as a busy worker bee exploring the world, making friends and collecting pollen. Very appropriately, the map is drawn in hexes.

Bumbling is an adorable game, i had a wonderful evening exploring the area around my hive and collecting honey.

Here is a short video review i made about it:

This is a sweet and relaxing way to pass a couple hours of a summer afternoon. The game is more focused on the logistics of exploring and learning your hive's dance language to get your hive full of honey, with some outlet for journaling if you want. There aren't additional rules to enforce specific ways of playing either; you're very free to set your own goals as opposed to trying to optimize via skating close to the limit of some hypothetical set of stricter rules. 

I used graph paper to draw hexagons on (there's a simple way to do this folks can google, even if it results in slightly tall hexagrams) and an abacus to count up the honey cells instead of the scoresheet.

I like that I have both this and "I'm a Bee" (which has much more focus on journaling) for all my bee rpg needs.
