Pollen Protector
A downloadable Pollen Protector
Game Description
In this wave game, you will embody the skin of a bee that wants to protect the flowers of a garden from an invasion of insects that intend to feed on them. Using your stinger, you must withstand the maximum number of waves of insects that approach the garden as long as they do not eat the flowers and thus be able to feed your hive with their pollen.
How to Play
In Pollen Protector, you take on the role of a determined bee, committed to defending your garden from relentless swarms of enemies that threaten to destroy your precious flowers. Your goal is to keep your garden safe and your flowers blooming for as long as possible while also racking up the highest score you can!
Gameplay Overview
- Protect Your Flowers: Each enemy that lingers near a flower will slowly destroy it. If you lose all your flowers, the game is over!
- Score Points: Every enemy you defeat adds points to your score. Try to defeat as many as you can while keeping your flowers safe to maximize your score.
Enemies
In your quest to defend your garden, you will encounter three types of enemies:
- Flying Insect: This enemy attacks from the air, shooting projectiles towards your flowers. Take them down quickly to prevent your flowers from being damaged.
- Kamikaze Insect: This insect charges directly at you, aiming to collide. Stay on the move and destroy it before it reaches you!
- Flower-Eating Insect: This enemy lands directly on the flowers and begins to consume them. If it stays too long, it will destroy the flower. Eliminate it as quickly as possible to keep your blooms safe.
Rewards & Bonuses
- Multiplier Bonus: At the end of the game, your score is multiplied by the number of flowers still standing. The more flowers you save, the higher your score will soar!
- New Flowers: As a reward for defeating large waves of enemies, new flowers will appear in your garden. These fresh blooms provide additional points and help you keep your garden alive longer.
Be strategic with your movements, protect every flower, and see how long you can hold off the invaders in this exciting, high-score challenge!
