Fun, good graphics. But now that I have maxed out all the upgrades, it’s boring. When is a new bee coming? ### 2/5 — Love it but need more Bees *2026-06-19, version 1.3.9* I have no way to upgrade. 3 bees maxed out with a grayed out bee that says coming soon. I feel that this awesome game has been forgotten. ### 4/5 — First time I’ve liked bugs *2026-06-19* Nice graphics with unique formations for the shoot in’ bee to mow down. Decent rewards and upgrade path. The only issue for me is lack of variety. Even though the upgraded shooter bee changes form and armament, most levels seem alike, endless and level play. The game needs something additional as a goal. I like to support games I play but I do not ever go the subscription route. I’ll buy coins once in a while. ### 2/5 — New Level Please *2026-06-13, version 1.3.9* It's been "Coming soon" for a very long time ### 3/5 — Limited progression *2026-06-12, version 1.3.8* Step 1 - start playing Step 2 - spot that endless mode is the fastest way to earn coins (and the daily challenge rewards don’t pay enough to chase so just collect them incidentally). Step 3 - buy the top tier character and max it out Step 4 - game is now super-easy, max out the other two characters but never use them. Step 5 - come to the App Store to write a review highlighting the limitations. Spot that the “coming soon” 4th character has been “coming soon” for over a year. Wonder why the game still has space on your phone. ### 4/5 — Fun way to kill time and bugs *2026-05-11, version 1.3.8* Very simple shooter in the Galaga vein of games. If a few weeks I maxed out all three bees and on level 250+. I wish there were more bees to upgrade or further upgrades for existing bees. Can I sell you back 40,000 coins for $10.99? I have almost 200,000 now without paying a penny. ### 2/5 — Finish the game and too expensive *2026-03-14* Fun to play, but the last “Bee” is still “coming soon”. I’ve played it through many levels and it is fun but seems to have maxed out on difficulty. It is also WAY annoying that removing ads requires a subscription (weekly, monthly, etc) that would get very expensive - way more than similar games that allow a one time payment to remove ads. ### 2/5 — New Hive? *2026-02-28, version 1.3.6* I’m on level 518, I’ve completed and upgraded 3 hives and the 4th hive keeps saying coming soon? Nothing has changed for a long time now. When will the 4th hive be an option? ### 2/5 — Fun gam but *2026-01-27, version 1.3.4* Fun game but froze my phone twice. Once on level 10 against the boss and once on level 13 mid game. Game was fun, moving the big bee side to side. Fairly easy game too. But after the freezing, I deleted the game. ### 3/5 — Fun but need more fighting options *2026-01-25, version 1.3.4* Hello I have had this game for some time and it’s very fun, but when will you yall offer some more warrior bugs for us to fight with. The game seems kinda pointless accumulating so many coins with nothing really to use them with other than to revive and keep fighting if I die in the round. So please make more warrior bugs ### 2/5 — No new hives *2026-01-19, version 1.3.4* Game was fun, but they never came out with any more hives than three. No it’s boring. ### 3/5 — Decent game but way too many ads. *2025-12-10, version 1.3.4* Over 420 levels now completed, when does it get difficult?ad after ad after ad, mind numbing stuff. Definitely worth a download. Good job guys but harder levels needed. ### 5/5 — Nice *2025-11-25, version 1.3.3* Nice fun little shooting game ### 5/5 — 2F’s Fun & Fair *2025-11-19, version 1.3.3* Fun game while playing it doesn’t get you stuck on a lot of advertising and marketing stuff it allows you to make your own decisions based upon what you’re doing. ### 4/5 — Fun…..but *2025-11-10, version 1.3.3* I really like this game, however, updates are slow in coming. Are you ever going to add new levels or have you just abandoned this game, inquiring minds want to know. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not Galaga *2026-04-28* If you want a Galaga type game, this is not it. If you have a shield in Galaga, you keep it until you get hit. With this game, you get the shield for MAYBE three seconds??? And you upgrade your guns and missiles but you start out with a pea shooter every single level. You never play long enough to make grabbing other weapon upgrades worth it. It’s extremely repetitive as well. Just not worth my time or the time it takes to upgrade any of your weapons. And don’t get me started on the ads, which happen every single time you finish a level. Definitely not worth playing. Die? Ad. Finish a level? Ad. No thanks. ### 1/5 — Zombees- DOA! *2026-01-29, version 1.3.5* Downloaded the game looking forward to an old school shooter with a twist. Played wave 1 successfully, wave 2 started… and froze. Came out, played a different game, came back in hoping this would work. Nope. The hive mind is braindead. ### 1/5 — Freezes iPhone 14 max pro *2026-01-25, version 1.3.4* It keeps freezing the phone, but before it freezes the phone it runs completely perfect but it’s so repetitive. It’s the same thing over and over the game is trash. Do not get it. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2026-01-21, version 1.3.4* 4 crashes tonight. Otherwise an ok little shooter for something to do on the loo ### 1/5 — What a joke *2025-10-01, version 1.3.3* Hit level 60 and cannot go any further. Another hive has said coming soon for over a year. Developer not responsive. Cannot delete and start over. Backup ruined off game not synced to I cloud still at level 60 after delete and reinstall. Yet you can watch adds so they continue to make money off the game they have abandoned ### 1/5 — No new updates - Ships or Levels *2025-08-04, version 1.3.0* Been at level 1170 for months. No new ships for months. Fun game, but will be deleting ### 1/5 — Fun game but has a dead end *2025-07-10, version 1.3.0* Had to update to 1 star. Stuck on chapter 60 since you only created 60. At least let chapter 60 loop around until you add more. 4 months. No updates. ### 1/5 — Urgently need to update *2025-04-07, version 1.3.0* I’m in chapter 60 level 1770 & it’s not moving to the next chapter. ### 1/5 — BEE UPGRADES!11 *2025-03-21, version 1.3.0* Love this game but they haven’t gotten any new bees or upgrades for Current bee’s I have texted support many times and still nothing.Its been over 6 months now. My app is up to date and still nothing. ### 1/5 — Game ends at 1770 *2025-03-13* This game ends at level 1770 even after updates asked developers about this with no reply just another update no fix can’t go back can’t go forward just the same level over and over and it doesn’t look like they care about the users it’s all about the add revenue 😢 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Coming soon Bee *2026-06-14, version 1.3.9* Please please release the final Bee!!! ### 5/5 — First time I’ve liked bugs *2026-05-31, version 1.3.8* Great animation with unique formations for a player to mow down. I like shooting games and this one is different. Decent upgrade path and limited forced ads. I like to support games I play but I do not ever go the subscription route. Another reviewer said the shield is only 3 seconds, yes it is temporary but that’s fine—it adds an element of risk. If you’re a decent player you have plenty of time to eliminate the bugs, use the shield to get closer to the enemy. This is a far better game than the one mentioned. ### 5/5 — Zoombees- *2026-05-25, version 1.3.8* Shooter:Not bad at getting a few hours of gaming out the way. No need to spend real money as you just need to play more and spank the Noobs🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 ### 5/5 — Best Game To Jump Right Into *2026-01-30, version 1.3.5* I absolutely love this game. I’ve been playing it for a couple of weeks now and it is both simple to play yet challenging. You don’t need to buy 500 parts to upgrade your bee. Best find in awhile for me!! ### 5/5 — Game keeps freezing *2026-01-19, version 1.3.4* My game keeps freezing! Please provide update for fix! ### 5/5 — Still fun *2026-01-17, version 1.3.4* On level 200 - still fun, using fully upgraded with missiles, collected through a combination of levels and endless modes. ~~~~~~~ Level 612 tried this game on an iPhone 17 Pro Max — even more fun! ### 5/5 — Unstoppable Fun *2026-01-08, version 1.3.4* I can’t stop playing this I need to I have things to do but I can’t stop I love this OMG !!!! ### 5/5 — Bumblebee Magic! *2026-01-04, version 1.3.4* This is the best shooter game I have played. With the other games similar to this I found myself getting more but with this I am looking forward to the next level and the next challenge! Graphical challenges that are not too busy. Good game ! ### 5/5 — Ran out of levels and can go no further. *2025-12-27, version 1.3.4* No new anything. Other than that loved it ### 5/5 — 4th B coming soon *2025-12-18, version 1.3.4* When I am on level 190 something. I can’t upgrade anymore and 4th B still isn’t showing up. If it doesn’t show soon I will delete it because I can’t upgrade anything else. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
