Maya the Bee & Her Friends is a 1999 platformer video game developed by British[1] studio Crawfish Interactive for the Game Boy and the Game Boy Color. It is the first game based on Maya the Bee.
The game was a reskin of a cancelled South Park game which Acclaim Interactive were developing in 1998.[2] The game still contains South Park assets in its game files.[3]
Gameplay[edit]
The game features over 120 levels. Each of the levels include a number of tricky puzzles that must be solved before you can rescue one of your insect-friends, trapped behind a spider's web. You can control three insects, each possessing different abilities. For example, Maya is the only character able to pull switches and Flip allows the characters to leap to higher places.[4][5]
Reception[edit]
IGN rated the game a 6/10.[6] Total! rated the game 2/6 while praising the music and tricky puzzles thought the graphics were "boring".[7]
