What's New

v1.5 "The Big Show II"

App Store 'Free App of the Week' Special Edition.

Wow, 2 million new bee buddies - sweet! We're making a few tweaks for our old-school supporters and also saying thanks to all of our new free bees for playing and spreading the word about Bee Leader.

We hope you like these sweet little updates;
- rank up to 'Ace' or 'Bee Leader' to completely remove network ads :)
- while playing remotely via Joypad all ads are disabled (updated, also wasn't announced in previous version)

These features should take effect immediately, so if you've already ranked up to 'Ace' or 'Bee Leader' then magically the network ads will disappear. If not then get busy!

If you prefer games ad-free then please download Bee Leader Free;

We've also made these fixes & tweaks;
- FIXED PESKY CRASH caused by low device memory (only affected flower particles, quite a tricky one to squash)
- no ad immediately after fresh launch or switch back to the game from another app
- optimised crosspromo settings, updated to latest sdk (fingers crossed no more freezes for the few who are experiencing them)
- updated to latest analytics sdk

We received a couple of reports of ads showing up right away on first play. We checked and double-checked but they still should not have been displaying - apologies to anyone who experienced this. We've added another layer of cotton wool to ensure this doesn't happen.


If you like Bee Leader please show it to your friends and submit a sweet rating or review on the App Store!

Greg & John, Flightless.

Fly around the world and hover over flowers to collect nectar. Look out for enemies and bad weather! Collect as much nectar as you can before the sun sets. The faster you get nectar back to your hive the more honey you'll make! Pick up plenty of bonuses along the way - nectar, honey, time, and bee buddies. The more bee buddies you find, the more nectar you'll collect. More nectar means more honey - sweet!

To climb up the Bee Leader ranks fly through different worlds making honey - Just Desert, Country Life, City Heights, Island Time and London Fun. Each world has different obstacles, enemies, flowers, bonuses to break open and other fun interactive goodies. Some worlds are small, others are big, and there's a few surprises along the way.

Control your bee using your preferred method: joystick, touch or tilt. You can also remotely control Bee Leader using another iOS device via wifi or Bluetooth using Joypad, available free from the App Store. See http://getjoypad.com for more details.

Get busy!
