If you like chasing and BEEing chased around mazes then this is for you. Not particularly original but certainly inventive.

It's based on a similar idea to Pac-man. You are a bee wandering around eating pollen and occasional fruit. However, all is not rosy in the garden. There are hazards to watch out for. Toadstools and tasty-looking foodstuffs are poisoned. Worse! Spiders appear to chase and devour you. However, there are some tricks in your favour if your reactions are fast enough.

Parts of the maze contain swinging gates which can guard your escape. Spiders can be lured to eat the food and so die!

It's an extremely colourful game with excellent graphics. There is a useful sound on/off option which meant I could play late into the night and a high-score table to satisfy the competitive player.

My only problem was with the choice of keys for movement - the asterisk and question mark were not a good idea for up and down. There is a joystick option which made it slightly easier although changes of direction were still tricky.
