Maya the Bee & Her Friends is the first game based on Maya the Bee, a world famous German book, comic, and animated cartoon series. This licensed title is based on the animated cartoon series.
In the game, evil spiders have kidnapped insects and are asking for honey as ransom. It's up to Maya and her friends to thwart their evil schemes.
The gameplay involves controlling three insects one at a time, but together on the same screen. Each insect has its own abilities. Maya can pull levers, while Willy allows others to leap to higher places. Together, they must combine their skills to puzzle their way through the spider's web in each of the 120 levels.
The game was released in Europe only and is identical to The New Adventures of Mary-Kate & Ashley , but with a different license. The same engine was later reused in Mary-Kate & Ashley: Get a Clue! .
