A solitary bee exists for herself in a hive of her own, until an unprecedented storm and a newly-hostile environment upturns everything...

"ah, yes. the sequel to ant yuri.. bee yuri..."

"next in the series of 'sexy bugs encounter the Mysterious Seed'..."

When a freak storm destroys your nest and almost you with it, you're left nearly dead in the wreckage, but the wild winds brought with them strange things. One, a cloud of what seems like pollen, but that proves toxic in almost any concentration. The other, a mysterious seed, the juices of which were the only thing that kept you alive long enough to recover. But it did more than that. It changed you. Now you're able to resist the floating pollen in small quantities, but survival still won't be easy.

You're scrambling to repair the damage and rebuild the nest you lost. The storm caused a nectar drought from the intense rains and flooding, but you still have to eat. The pollen might not take immediate effect on you anymore, but it can build up and take over if you aren't wary. Worse yet, the clouds hovering ominously inform you that the storm will return soon. If you can just be ready for it, the pollen might be washed away, and nature might correct its own course. You must survive...

Bee-Fore the Storm is a retro mashup featuring shmup, platformer, arcade shooter, and light simulation genres, all wrapped up for the Game Boy! It features easy-to-pick-up, top-down gameplay, a sprinkling of side-scrolling areas, mixed together with a light colony-management simulation where you decide how you'll spend each day and night. If you accumulate too much pollen, you'll never make it, so keep yourself and your nest clean. Forage outside for nectar so you don't starve, if there's even any nectar left to find. Rebuild your nest completely, or it won't withstand the storm a second time. Spread over only a week of in-game time for a sweet, replayable package, you can make it through the story mode in about 20 minutes, with bonus modes and rewards unlockable for the post-game. Remember.. you must survive...

- Endure random events some days (and nights!), like worse weather or food spoiling, that can throw a wrench in your survival plans.  

- Let the mysterious seed continue to change you by choosing upgrades that will help improve your chances in different ways.
