Beekyr Reloaded

Beekyr Reloaded is a shoot-'em-up starring bees, set in a world of insects rather than the usual space setting. You fly through stages with both vertical and horizontal scrolling, facing different challenges: fighting poisonous scorpions, defending the hive while collecting pollen and dodging bee-eaters, or raiding dark caves protected by hornets.

Stages and challenges

Stage formats vary throughout the game, with natural hazards including storms, waterfalls, wind, rocks and darkness. Four stage combinations offer between 18 and 29 stages, depending on game events and difficulty mode. You can fight 17 bosses, find secrets, unlock stages and worlds, play as multiple characters, and reach multiple endings.

Game modes

The game has five modes, each with a set number of stages:

• Novice: 19 stages, with a tutorial to help new players learn how to play shoot-'em-ups.
• Arcade: 25 stages at the game's original difficulty, designed for a lengthy run to complete the game.
• Bullet hell: 28 stages, with bullet-hell-style play and extra levels.
• Expert: 28 stages at a harder difficulty, with extra levels.
• Elite: 18 stages at an even harder difficulty. The description says the first few players to beat the game receive a reward at home from Kaleidogames.

Weapons and effects

A power-up system includes the Bee-squad bomb and Bee-swarm flock attack. The game also has over 20 screen effects, including retro arcade visuals, CRT monochrome, old cinema, sepia, vintage cameras, pixelation and trippy effects. It features a soundtrack and game crossovers.

Multiplayer and progression

You can play in real co-op multiplayer. The game also includes a global ranking system and achievements.
