Do not blow your own trumpet..!
Needless to say that self-praise stinks! For this reason we don’t want to be the ones to rate “Tiny Bee”. There are countless experienced Android-editors which are far better.
The demo just went supersonic and has been downloaded a 100000 times, trend is rising! Concerning the full-version, the number of downloads is about to become a five-digit number by the end of the week.
As we read, that the workers bee usual lifespan is about eight weeks, alarm bells began to ring! Since launching “Tiny Bee”, exactly those eight weeks passed. It is therefore time to put to the acid test and check, how she is going. Due to this reason we would like to present some of the reviews written by several Android-platforms.
„Of course you know Tiny Wings or Dillo Hills. With Tiny Bee comes a similar game with just as much addictive“
„First class entertainment, “Tiny Bee” provides an awesome game experience with its excellent graphics, simple concept and easy on-screen controls.“
“I downloaded the demo of this to entertain my 3 year old and I liked it more than him. So I purchased the full version...”
„The graphics of Tiny Bees are really cute. Really, really cute. The comic backgrounds are nicely drawn, the animations of your bee are really nice, the style is coherent throughout the game and all the levels have a different graphic style.“
„Overall the graphics of Tiny Bee are very nice. Good job, Nurogames!“
„Tiny Bees has a great summer atmosphere. The music brightens your mood (the first few minutes), the graphical style is really nice and the fine humor of the game creates a summer atmosphere you will definitly enjoy. This game is best played on a nice summers day, while waiting for your barbecue getting ready, or as a nice reminder of better days while it is raining outside.“
„Tiny Bee is a game that perfectly fits into this season. It is warm, funny and brightens your mood. Girls will love the game for its cute graphics, while boys will have fun competing for the highest score via open feint. If you are looking for a casual game that you can play for 4 or 5 minutes without spending too much time on loading screens or other obstacles, Tiny Bees is just what you have been searching for. Oh and by the way, if you are a fan of Tiny Wings and you are eagerly waiting for Tiny Wings on Android, Tiny Bee is the game you have been waiting for.“
"Bottom line: Tiny Bee is a simple and entertaining game for inbetween times, similar to Angry Birds. Due to the tasks the game is enthralling longer than initially intended
"Tiny Bee is available for price of 79 Cent on the App Center as well as on the Android Market. A demo-version (which is free of charge) is ready to download here."
„Tiny Bee is an entertaining game with a likeable main character, pretty graphics and suitable background music. […] Thanks to the endless-mode, Tiny Bee guarantees weeks of gaming fun, even if there’s a lack of variety. To put it in a nutshell, the developer offers an all around success! Using the demo, you can try the game for free“
OUR INTERIM CONCLUSION:
We would like to take this opportunity once again to thank all the thousands of gamers out there!
5th place on the category „Top Apps paid“ and almost 125000 Downloads alone on the Android Market say a lot about the quality. Even if the positive feedback is the one which guarantees long-term success we appreciate all you comments and ratings. If we continue like that, it would only take another eight weeks to reach the quarter-million in downloads and could proof that Bees definitely can have a longer life!
The fastest way to Tiny Bee:


We hope that our yellow-stripped friend will bring pleasure to you and us for another eight weeks!
