Attack the Hive
Welcome!
Hello there! I'm Nice Cream and this is Attack the Hive! (For PC.) It's a metroidvania I'm working on for, well, some time now. I hope you enjoy the game, and if you do, you can message me on discord (Nice Cream#4839) to know more about the game!
What's the Game?
In this game, you're a wasp trying to destroy a bee hive, the reason? Wasps and bees got into a war, and the bees won, so with very few wasps left, and with no reputation, you set yourself on a crazy quest of destroying the hive all by yourself, will it work? We'll see.

I love it! very charming and nice polish and art. keep up the good work
I still can't believe people play this game man, it honestly amazes me how a game I think is so primitive to my skills now still gets 1-3 players a week. You may notice the comments on this game are 2 years old but I promisse you, on march 18th 2025 you will get to experience a brand new AtH Demo. It might still be a demo, but this old project will look like NOTHING in comparisson to the first 5 rooms of the new and improved Attack the Hive
Thanky you so much for enjoying this game, there's PLENTY more to come :]
gud
cool artstyle but music loops don't sound very good. there could be a hint at the dash being able to be used in combat earlier on in the game, i was really confused for a second in the hive room.
how to kill the executioner bee?
Edit: Didn't saw the health bar
This game is awesome. I love it!
Love it! I'd really like to level up and discover some new weapons to fight the bees
I really liked this. The sprites look really nice and the enemy you have to dash into is cool. I do feel like there are some slight issues with the demo though. Those being the fact that dashing interacting with things is never really shown off beyond the cobweb, maybe there could be a shielded enemy your shots bounce off of or something before the hive, that could just be a reskin of the helmet bee without it turning into a bee later. The second tiny issue I have is with the foreground. The flying enemies above you including the executioner can sometimes get obscured. Maybe just shrink the foreground of the top a bit. I think this is a wonderful game though and I hope to see more of it.
I'm a friend of the dev and pitched both of those issues to him yesterday, the hive's height has been increased and he's working on the knight bees being more clear, possibly with dialogue from Billy
Awesome.
Man, even for how short this demo is, you've improved a shit-ton from the beta days, I don't even know what to say cause at this point I'm just impressed with how much the game has changed and how much better it looks, everything from the gameplay to the art style is just all around better, so good job man, nice to see your improving in such a short amount of time.
Although don't worry bud ill still be an ass to you :)
Never thought I'd hear that from you, good to see you here!
Very fun game. I can't wait to see more of it! Great job!
Great video! I'll be sure to make damaging he knights mote clear
Hey that's a cool game! Are you still working on it?
You bet I am! I'm working on version 1.1, improving some stuff based on feedback and adding some more details
Fantastic! Let me know when you update it! I'd love to try it again
oh btw I’m still working on it…
Very fun! Unfortunately, I'm not very good at these sorts of games. I still enjoyed it, though! Couldn't beat the executioner 'cuz I died when it was at like 1/5 health and then couldn't get past the first wave of bees again but!! Still fun.
Hello there, I'm Nice's friend and would like to thank you for leaving such a nice comment! He's working hard on fixing this version and the beta testers have given him a lot of feedback to make it even better
:)
v good. i like it alot
no idea how to defeat the helmet bees, somtimes the game kind of lags where my wasp just moves into ne direction at a time.
no idea how to continue :-/
you need to dash into them. i discovered it on accident
Love it!
I like how its raining, it closes the reason why the wasp just doesn’t fly to the hive
Hello! Nice's friend here, I don't believe this was intentional but I'll talk to,him about it because that could be a plothole, thanks for your feedback :)
Solid demo! The mechanics felt tight and clean, and the environments looked good
Thank you! I hope to only get things better
I could try making a pattern for executioner, instead of her just randonly moving to position.
you kill armoured bees w/ dash ability. dash does damage to bees and removes armour
