Description

Beekyr is a 'bullet hell' 16-bit style shoot'em up, that leads our cool bee through 23 amazing levels* in fields, trees, forests, rivers, waterfalls, jungles and caves to avenge his queen and hive from the nasty wasp queens and their soldiers... Very similar to space shooters but set in the world of bugs.

History

Development fun fact

Kaleidogames' lead developer Jaime loved a challenging MSX game from the 80s called 'Valkyr' where the player pilot a spaceship to kill space insects and collect some kind of essence they leave upon death. One day, not long ago, Jaime made a remake - it was so loyal to the original that for a while, not even the original author was able to tell it was a remake. With that in hand he went to a job interview. However, the interviewer wasn't impressed with it. He asked Jaime to make something more modern and visually attractive. Initially what was going to be just a simple re-skin job ended up as a full on game project. When the project started growing he asked Diego Gangl to give a hand with graphics and later on, Mete Burch Bator got on board to make music. The team was formed and after several months of hard work (October 1st, 2013).The game was released but not how Jaime wanted the game to be yet. He decided to improve it to very high standards, much better gameplay, performance, controls, balanced difficulty and more variety of situations. A few months later (May 2014) Android and OUYA versions were finished. Marking it as a new mark in developent this release comes with tons of new features, enhancements and fixes. The core gameplay was finally completed and people started to truly enjoy the game. From an initial little choice of ships, (more unlockable by playing) the player has to destroy all the vortices they will face accross several galaxies.
