Project B

Overview

Project B is a 2D strategy platformer with a dark and enveloping atmosphere.

• Spiders and bees battle in an attempt to claim a healing and powerful substance—the Royal Jelly—for themselves.
• Take command of your own army and crush your enemies in this battle of strategy. The game is complex and offers a high skill ceiling for player mastery.
• Completely unique art and music designed to complement and enhance immersion.
• Players will collect/win items and journals with intriguing lore details that they then piece together to figure out the game narrative. The player comes for the battle, and stays to uncover the intricate story.

Gameplay

The player either attacks as the Spider Army or defends as the Bee Army, taking control of either the Spider King or the Queen Bee. 

The Bee Army’s main objective is to defend their base and Royal Jelly until the time limit runs out.  The Spider Army’s goal is to destroy the Royal Jelly before the time limit runs out.
