Maya the Bee & Her Friends

Maya the Bee & Her Friends is a puzzle-platformer action-adventure game where players control three insects simultaneously: Maya the Bee, her friend Willy the Bee, and Flip the Grasshopper. The story follows the trio as they work together to thwart an evil spider's schemes in 120 levels. Gameplay features side-scrolling platforming with unique abilities—Maya pulls levers, Willy moves heavy objects, and Flip leaps higher to help the others—combined with puzzle-solving to solve mechanics like combining strengths for progression. It stands out for its Lost Vikings-style gameplay and close ties to the Maya the Bee cartoon franchise. Characters include the adventurous Maya, clumsy Willy, and helpful Flip, with additional meadow friends and antagonists like Thekla the Spider. Release year is confirmed as 1999 for the Game Boy Color version.
