It has to do with the breakable blocks you see at the ending. You basically need to trigger the last step of the home spell as soon as you start the ending sequence
How are you meant to get the top left star in Goat, Flip, Flower? I managed to get the rest of the trophies, but this last one has me quite stuck. Any help is appreciated in completing this wonderful game.
A perfect phase with very funny puzzles! Sometimes I'm trying to making a combination, and I make the home combination, what slows the proccess, and it sometimes looks annoying, but it's also what makes the game difficult! I loved it!
Only thing left is that the ending looks awfully suspicious; but I can't figure anything out. Is there a secret in there or does it just really look like it? The spells using the downward move, but it doesn't seem possible to get it to cast anything in the cutscene.
Also what's the deal with the cancel spell? I figure it was probably to prevent people casting bush and flower in the hubworld, but why?
I didn't even test it on Windows 7. I have a *really* old machine I could check if I have time. My guess is that your system doesn't natively support OpenGL 3.0 rendering and also doesn't support OpenGL 2.0 ES rendering. There's also a very real possibility that I'm not doing something correctly.
update: I forgot that it was upgraded to win 10, but it still doesn’t work on it despite having an OpenGL 3.0 driver. I’ll try debugging it further when I have time.
I'm just completely stuck on g+fire+size. I can't even figure out how to get to the left side of the screen to get size. I have all the other trophies except g+flower+flip, but this one is really confusing me.
well if you could get size the rest would be easy since the top left star is the hard part in literally every trophy in this game except the bush ones
i'd suggest just continue messing around, it shouldn't take too long to figure out. minor hint (rot13): chfuvat fbzrguvat fgvyy pbhagf nf n zbir sbe fcryyf, qrfcvgr ubj lbh qvqa'g zbir lbhefrys
This game is insanely fun, I have barely done any combos (1st run without Size, 2nd was a failed Key-Flip that turned into a Key-Flip-Flower where I didn't use Flower but couldn't manage not to pick it up, and 3rd was a Fire-Flower) but I still got my mind blown a lot. Also got the lever in trophy room but I don't have access to the left side yet so I'll have to figure out more.
On another note, idk why but the windows build isn't working for me, so I have to play on Web, which is fine but I feel like I should mention it.
it is possible to escape this situation without undo, but it requires a trick you probably haven't learned about yet and i'd recommend waiting to learn it until after your first completion of the game. if you want a hint for that, though: (rot13): Ohfu vfa'g nf hfryrff nf vg zvtug frrz ng svefg tynapr.
you need to break the breakable block that connects to the bush area (down-right direction from the character), then lift yourself up on the gates in that area and walk to the star.
another hint below if you want it
to be able to activate the key spell while standing on the gate you need to move a piece of paper above the gate, so that when you stand on the gate moving upwards makes the goat push the paper instead of actually moving up
Finally 100% G-Flip-Flower broke my brain for multiple days, this game is pretty simple and addictive at the start, but to 100% it, it's pretty hard. there's multiple techniques exclusive to this trophy you'll need to figure out, good luck to anyone going for it.

Anybody notice the breakable one-way walls at the credits scene? Does anybody know if it's possible to get there after completing the game? I've gotten past all of the Challenge Barriers (not 100%) and noticed that there is one more slot for a spell from the bottom of the screen. Is it just for spacing or is there another hidden spell?
Yes, thanks for posting this, I went and tried and I have gotten up there. I am not sure what it means though... Something something ocean symbolizes freedom. I have posted a picture below the gap, which you can use as a hint for how to do it if you want. It looks like you'd be able to get an even more interesting result if you could do it while flipped, but I do not think it is possible.
(also, to the dev: I encountered a weird bug while messing around with trying to do this in different ways, where it started going instantly to credits after entering the portal. Eventually it seemed to fix itself though.)
Probably not here. I might do them for a sequel, or maybe the third game in this series. I suppose I could add SUPER basic level importing support to this one.
My main concern is that importing a level into the game could trigger some obscure bug which crashes the game and/or ruins your save file. If I implement modding, l’ll probably design a “boot loader” which A) enables game modifications, B) allows you to clear your save file, and C) runs before the rest of the game does.
Even if created levels can't be saved/shared, being able to test out game mechanics and object interactions without the restraints of the puzzle-world would be an awesome feature.
I managed to reach the trophy area without picking up the accursed cancel spell, and then skip all the trophy gates in there. Wondering if that's an intended possible sequence break. Felt incredibly satisfying.
Don't ever undersell yourself on how well crafted this puzzle board is for 100% you should bee incredibly proud of this game
i got stuck trying to overuse [FLOWER] for G flower flip; got frustrated trying the wrong options, causing myself to spam the spell attempting to clear areas that would be thwarted
Fire Key and Flip being the bread&butter&(your choice) and all interacting with different sections of the map forms a very solid basis.
Flowers and Keyswitches interacting with Fire has a satisfying usage, midgame i found myself becoming an expert on pre-swapping and synchronizing and blocking keys before I really appreciated that I could just exit the ground with them
I think BUSH is a hilarious spell with how strong it is, but how not straightforward it is to get to. I enjoyed the couple of uses I got out of it, collecting it late at first and jumping right into no-BUSH trophies
I skipped size on my first run (to see what would happen basically) and got to experience it when clearing the left side trophies, not super easy to use due to the limited locations you can input the command, but satisfying to use on the left-side trophies, equally fun to explore using as G, just too abusable if it had a smaller input.
B as a convenience feature before the player notices the warp pad at the start / or hones in on their goals and just uses the restart map button. And the prank with the notes made me laugh
G was a fantastic game changer. Really pushing my understanding of the gameboard to its limit
The only thing that really threw me for a loop was walking directly onto notes when they had a clear space beside them, and the character was elevated
I think if the sequel / remake / combo of this game got a fancy art-style and camera, the player could better intuit that they're standing on-top of a block/wall, so they'll descend onto the note rather then push the note. The logic is consistent with pushing things in the way. (all it really did was stop me from pursing the wrong excavation and wrong methods for G flower flip, and led me to revisit the correct map sections to deduce the solution.)
Bee Magic was shorter then Baba or Stephen's but I genuinely think you crafted an equal. Its great to have a game like this to send to friends to test their interest on hard puzzles / sokobans without sending them a 60 hour game.
I'm definitely going to check out your other projects but the ones i've checked so far seem to be free, is there anywhere to support you or do you have plans to put donations up for Bee magic / plans to include this map in a sequel? that you sell maybe?
If you're trying to 100% it, I haven't figured that one out yet. If you're trying to get past that challenge barrier, I'd recommend the Key & Goat Challenge. I was able to do it and found it easiest. I'll look into your challenge though

i beat the game legitimately through the intended method
that is not the intended metho
i found funny thing and it allows you to beat the game without completing the puzzles
Can I have a hint for fire+key to get into the top half?
do this in order (rot13.com):
(1) sver,(2) FR fgne,(3) xrl,(4) pyvzo jnyy ba J,(5) AJ fgne
If you can't do number 4: lbh zhfg bayl hfr xrl gjvpr, svefg gb cnff tngr va J, frpbaq gb pyvzo jnyy
I thought of all of that, but forgot to use the home spell and that's why I was stuck. Thank you!!
i can't do number 4 even with the hint
How to get to the hidden credit room? I can't go below from here
Do you mean how to see the beach? Because this is not how you get to it.
Oh I thought it's through there haha. How to though? 100% trophy?
It has to do with the breakable blocks you see at the ending. You basically need to trigger the last step of the home spell as soon as you start the ending sequence
How though? For ending you need to go to left, left alone vertically
Edit: okay, managed to use the home spell, but still no secrets being unlocked - I just go straight down.
Can anybody help me with the key and flip one please? The bottom right star
Ok, but only if you help me with the key and fire one. The top stars
In the end cutscene we see breakable blocks that were at the very beginning of the game but when I tried to go there and break them it didn’t work
Also I wanna be a programmer in video games but I do not have the skills so maybe tryna teach me or something ?
I'm planning on writing some blog posts about game programming soon...
Puzzlescript is definitely my choice for programming simple grid 2d-games. Worth a look if that seems good to you.
How are you meant to get the top left star in Goat, Flip, Flower?
I managed to get the rest of the trophies, but this last one has me quite stuck. Any help is appreciated in completing this wonderful game.
Cool game! What was this game made in/with?
SDL2 and my C++ engine, mainly.
incredible 🔥
Any hints for Fire, Flip, Size?
I feel like I'm missing a trick to get the top right star, I don't see any way in using Fire and Flip, but maybe I'm missing something using Size?
Yep, I was missing a trick with Size😅
Huh. This doesn't seem intentional!
A perfect phase with very funny puzzles! Sometimes I'm trying to making a combination, and I make the home combination, what slows the proccess, and it sometimes looks annoying, but it's also what makes the game difficult! I loved it!
yes.
neat
i also got rid of the crosses
Now get rid of the boxes by recoding the game
Similar but using fewer spells... the poor goat got trapped but at least it won't starve.
Wow
H O W
W H Y ?
magic (literally)
I wanted to clear the level
Is undoing supposed to save trophies/the switch?
They're supposed to persist through undo.
Does the player character have a canonical name? If not, I hereby name her Beatrice (Bee for short, of course)!
when its week 2 of bee magic and you have no bee magic left to play
why does the bee magic wizard get 10 percent brighter when the next move could potentially cast a spell
what are the lore implications of this
You can see the light.
Ok I've 100%ed it, I think; all 20 trophies!
Only thing left is that the ending looks awfully suspicious; but I can't figure anything out. Is there a secret in there or does it just really look like it? The spells using the downward move, but it doesn't seem possible to get it to cast anything in the cutscene.
Also what's the deal with the cancel spell? I figure it was probably to prevent people casting bush and flower in the hubworld, but why?
Some of those goat puzzles were INSIDIOUS.
well i did manage to destroy the cancel orb with the bush spell and yes the bush spell destroys the hub you can use it to get past trophies
Oh I hadn't even considered trying to get PAST the trophies!
What does cancel even do tho
It resets your spell progress.

this game is very buggy
Are there any bugs you've encountered specifically? What system (and version of said system) are you on, how did you trigger the bug, etc.
it was a pun
You're pun wasn't to be. Yes, there are two puns in this pun. This wasn't a pun. But it was.
When I download it, it fails to run; windows 7 incompatible? Can play in browser just fine.
I didn't even test it on Windows 7. I have a *really* old machine I could check if I have time. My guess is that your system doesn't natively support OpenGL 3.0 rendering and also doesn't support OpenGL 2.0 ES rendering. There's also a very real possibility that I'm not doing something correctly.

can you post soundtrack somewhere? youtube would be fine
although i did find in files so now not needed
i think i chessed the end,
i became small, i flew over with the bee, then i turned into goat.
That's cheese, but it's 90% intentional cheese.
also what is it with all these level files? i dont understand how you access them or what they even do
I'm just completely stuck on g+fire+size. I can't even figure out how to get to the left side of the screen to get size. I have all the other trophies except g+flower+flip, but this one is really confusing me.
its similar to what you did with g+key
well if you could get size the rest would be easy since the top left star is the hard part in literally every trophy in this game except the bush ones

go up
undo to before you entered this situation.

I don't speak rot13, sorry. (Joke, why am i doing this, i feel like v whfg ehvarq gur wbxr)
Why does the hexagon under the paper in the throphy room not appear sometimes?
And why is the hexagon randomly here
I don't think the hexagon under the paper was ever meant to be.
oh god
WHAT DID YOU DO???
Is there something specific you have to do to trigger the bug? What browser and browser version are you using?
Idk, a bee just appeared

trying to do Key-Goat, can someone give me a hint?
you need to break the breakable block that connects to the bush area (down-right direction from the character), then lift yourself up on the gates in that area and walk to the star.

can someone help?

connect to the flower area? how does that help wont i be in the same situation but with the blocks on the side?
am i softlocked even?
and for some reason i cant undo all the way so i have to restart. i think you should fix that unless its intentional then explain why.
great game btw!
you are softlocked
SPOILER WARNING
Anybody notice the breakable one-way walls at the credits scene? Does anybody know if it's possible to get there after completing the game?

(SPOILER GAP)
how were u even able to move in that area?
You cannot move by your own accord in that area ;)
I feel like there is something more since there is an unused image in the game files that was added for 1.4
Are player made levels going to be a thing?
Probably not here. I might do them for a sequel, or maybe the third game in this series. I suppose I could add SUPER basic level importing support to this one.
My main concern is that importing a level into the game could trigger some obscure bug which crashes the game and/or ruins your save file.

Im stuck on Flower Goat Flip
I need hints
Spoiler gap
your set of spells is enough to get you above walls
Spoiler gap
you actually have 4 spells, not 3 and the fourth one is key to get you on top of the walls for the top left
Odd. I have 5.
fog doesn’t count
If you're trying to 100% it, I haven't figured that one out yet. If you're trying to get past that challenge barrier, I'd recommend the Key & Goat Challenge. I was able to do it and found it easiest. I'll look into your challenge though
What do I do from here
challenge failed? You picked up flower. I’m assuming you are going for G+Key?
Yes
(edit) I found out that the top left star was impossible to get from this position.
from this position, you are close. You got past the hard part, which is getting to that spot.
Do you have any hints to achieve getting to that spot? I don't have any clues since you cant cross walls diagonally
you can never get boxes any higher once they fall.
it wasn’t impossible
