Wing Leader

WING LEADER - THE OLYMPICS FOR BEES With the Winter Olympics on now, what better time to try the Wing Leader game on Android. Wing Leader is a simple racing game for the whole family. Bees race to the hive, collecting nectar from flowers along the way. You race an AI bee on four different courses, but compete worldwide on time. Your goal is to be the fastest bee in the world … the Wing Leader. In this way, Wing Leader is similar to the Olympic skiing events in which there is a combined score of two or more different events to determine the winner. The game is available for Android devices. Click here: Wing Leader on Google Play. SPEED AND SKILL In Wing Leader, speed is not the only factor in winning. Being first to the hive does not guarantee victory in a race. Your bee must collect nectar from flowers along the way. The hive expects a full load of nectar to be delivered. Anything less than that and penalty time will be added to your finish time. The winner of the race is the bee with the lowest adjusted time. Wing Leader racing is a bit like certain Olympic events that combine time and bonus or penalty time. In the Biathlon in the Winter Olympics, for example, if an athlete misses a target at the shooting range, they are penalized either by adding a minute to their time or by having to ski a penalty loop. In Wing Leader, a 5-second penalty is added to the finish time for each unit of nectar under the expected nectar of 10 units. WING LEADER - BE THE FASTEST BEE IN THE WORLD To be Wing Leader, your bee has to be the fastest bee in the world. On the screen, it is you against an AI bee, but what's really important is your time, relative to other people playing the game. Check the leaderboards to see where you stand on each of the four courses. Then check the Wing Leader leaderboard. The bee with the lowest, average time across all courses is the Wing Leader. FUN FOR ALL AGES Wing Leader is fun for all ages. Adults and children will enjoy the challenge. Your bee visits flowers to collect nectar and avoids obstacles and enemies. Wasps and spiders are particularly annoying, and frogs ... well, frogs are always amusing, but they can get in the way. Children as young as five can play and have fun. For them, it is not about competition. They will enjoy collecting nectar and getting to the finish line ahead of the AI bee. The controls are simple and consist of buttons for Up, Down, Slower, and Faster. USE YOUR GOOGLE PLAY GAMES ID Your overall game experience is better when you sign in with your Google id.

Wing Leader Game Tip: Collect Nectar From Flowers In Wing Leader, there is more to a race than just moving fast. You have to pick up nectar along the way. The hive expects nectar so honey can be made. So while you are speeding along, you should stop at flowers to pick up nectar. The winner of the race is the bee with the best total time. The total time is the finish time with penalty time added in. Penalty time is five seconds for each unit of nectar below the required ten units.

In the Wing Leader game, your bee has to be fast to get a good time on a course. Your first tip for improving your performance is this: Avoid Obstacles. Each time you hit an obstacle, your bee comes to a complete halt. Your bee is temporarily stunned, for about one second. After that, your bee starts flying again and you can press the Faster button to accelerate. So fly fast and avoid the spiders, wasps, and frogs. The second way hitting an obstacle hurts a bee is in its health. With each collision, health goes down. That hurts because health determines the max speed your bee can fly at. There is a significant difference between a bee at full health and one at zero health.

Best Bee In The World In the Wing Leader game, you are racing against an AI bee, but really you are competing against all the other bees in the world. Your goal is to be the fastest bee in the world. Leaderboards in Wing Leader show who has the fastest times on each of the four courses. What you will want to do is put in a good time on all four courses. In this way, Wing Leader is a bit like some of the Olympic skiing events where there is a combined score of two or more different events to determine the winner. In Wing Leader, the overall title "Wing Leader" is for the bee with best average score across all four courses. Each time you play, you see where you stand on each of the courses and for the overall title of "Wing Leader".

In Wing Leader, there is more to a race than just moving fast. You have to pick up nectar along the way. The hive expects nectar so honey can be made. So while you are speeding along, you stop at flowers to pick up nectar. The winner of the race is the bee with the best finish time, after adding in penalty time in case you show up without the required ten units of nectar. The picture above shows you how scoring works. Notice that your bee (in yellow) wins even though it had a slower finish time. That's because the pink bee came in without a full load of nectar. Wing Leader is a bit different than other racing games because of the penalty time.

Wing Leader is a new game that I have been working on this year. It's a race game for Android. Not cars ... bees. Your bee races against another bee. It's a race to see who can get to the hive fastest.
