Bee Dots is a puzzle game where you try to clear a honeycomb without encountering a bee. GAME PLAY Your goal is to remove all the honeycomb cell caps by tapping them. But don't tap a cell with a bee! The number of dots in a honeycomb cell tells you how many adjacent cells have bees. If there are no dots, none of the adjacent cells have bees. If there is one dot, one adjacent cell has a bee. If two dots, two adjacent cells have bees. And so on. When you clear all the cells without bees, you’ve won! But if you tap a cell with a bee, you lose. VARYING DIFFICULTY LEVELS As you get better, you can increase the difficulty level. As difficulty increases, more bees are in the honeycomb and it becomes harder to figure out where the bees are. You can also change the size of the honeycomb. The 7x7 honeycomb with difficulty of HARD, is the most challenging!
