The jist
Sticky Bees: Unleashed is easy to pick up and exhilarating for any human being with fingertips and reflexes!
The premise is simple: The player uses his finger to slide the King Bee into enemies as he dodges oncoming obstacles and collects pollen (the in-game currency). Every enemy except bosses are a one-shot kill. If the player slides King into a Sticky Bee, it attaches to King like the next link in a chain. The more Sticky Bees in your chain, the higher the pollen multiplier yet harder to navigate obstacles.
This game is all about breaking stuff, building your chain, going the distance, collecting pollen, spending pollen on a variety of upgrades, and endless replay value.
The money
The bulk of the Kickstarter money will be going toward new art as well as a concentrated, full-time effort on programming to make it the deep, polished and wildly fun and accessible game Sticky Bees: Unleashed should be.
More content, more excitement, more casual, more hardcore, and more addiction now in an endless runner format.
"More content" was the cry. And we agree with you wholeheartedly. Not only that, but we are taking the groundbreaking "slide-smash" gameplay on the run - running to the right specifically.
We believe that the addictive and easy-to-learn slide-smash play of Sticky Bees would fit perfectly into the endless runner format that is free to play. No more looking left, up, or down - all the obstacles, enemies, items and more come rushing and crashing in from the right side as levels scroll by and change as you continue racking up your pollen!
Unleashed will feature:
- Bigger variety of items and upgrades
- More missions
- Addicting in-game currency/economy
- Monthly content updates
New upgrades:
- Clothes: Different armor or clothes to outfit both the King and Sticky Bees. (Santa and elves, turkey costumes, ghost costumes, hispter outfits, football helmets, etc.)
- Avatars: Different player characters entirely. Instead of King and Sticky Bee, they’re replaced with Big wasp and little wasp, hummingbird and baby hbirds, Cupid and cherubim, etc.
- Bee Mods (these affect the player character abilities): Items that appear in game. You can also buy modified version of these for a higher pollen amount. Items may include things like freeze enemies, invincibility for Sticky Bees, stinger guns, etc.
- Perks (these affect pre or post gameplay experience):Gaining advantages by paying for them. Extra life (come back to life), buying specific missions to guarantee appearance in the "random" assortment(instead of earning it), buying extra Honeycomb tokens (to play the post-game bonus minigame), etc.
- Gizmos (These affect the in-game environment):Things like double crosser (every 10th enemy turn on its own), coins more often, tokens more often, slo mo, speed up, etc.
Not to mention some new enemies, bosses, obstacles, and all the depth of content you would expect from a polished, triple-A App Store effort.

Creative Director Matt Cox will even fly to your town and take your family out to dinner with one of the funding levels!
Creative Director Matt Cox, after working on the Destroy All Humans (THQ) franchise and on the original Scribblenauts (Warner Bros., 5TH Cell) as lead designer, left the games industry in 2009 to pursue non-gaming opportunities. With those efforts in full swing, he re-entered the gaming industry with the same passion he had working then.
"I want to take risks with genre-defining ideas. I love designing gameplay that can be fun in small spurts, but has the depth to hook my more hardcore gamer instincts."
After putting together a small team with Michael Rowland, Palmer Davidson and Brock Brown, taking on an intense, part-time development schedule and a very small budget, Sticky Bees was released in February 2012. The team makes up the indie studio Fourfire and Sticky Bees was their very first title.
