Bumbler Bee-Luxe is an insect-themed multidirectional shooter video game,[3] developed and published by American studio Dadgum Games in 1997 for the Macintosh. In 1998, it was included in the Extreme Mac 12-Pack compilation from StarPlay Productions, which also contains Marathon and Glider Pro.[1]
Gameplay[edit]
Bumbler Bee-Luxe is a 2D shooter in which the player is a bee, trying to protect its hive from invaders.[4]
Development[edit]
The game was developed by Dadgum Games, a company founded in 1996.[5]
Reception[edit]
Next Generation reviewed the Macintosh version of the game, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "The only downside is that the background never seems to change [...] and sometimes, due to the color scheme, we lost track of enemies against the honey-combed background. Overall though, an excellent effort."[4]
