Pinobee is a platformer game where you play as Pinobee , a robotic bee created by your creator who has been kidnapped by Grandpa Bee. Your goal is to rescue your creator by navigating through 9 worlds, each with its own storyline and multiple endings.
The gameplay involves jumping on enemies to defeat them, but the most effective way to attack is by using Pinobee's dash ability, which can be performed in any direction, including diagonally. As you progress through the game, you can upgrade your dash abilities by meeting certain characters. Pinobee also collects flowers and question mark bubbles that provide power-ups, such as enhanced dashes, temporary shields, and other bonuses. The Game Link feature allows you to collect and trade items with friends to acquire new power-ups.

Story
Story
Once upon a time, there lived a famous old inventor named Grandpa Bee. He loved to design new mechanical devices, and his latest project was to build a robot with a pure heart. Grandpa Bee gave the robot the name Pinobee.
One day, when Pinobee was almost complete, Grandpa Bee was in his laboratory putting the finishing touches on his creation. Just as he was about to put the perfect heart in Pinobee's body, a dark shape appeared out of nowhere and took him away! Pinobee was left all alone in the laboratory... without a heart.
Pinobee
•
The hero of the story. A bee-shaped robot without a heart.
Cozy Forest
This is the wood which surrounds Pinobee's house. This stage is simple, so get used to the moves and remember the rules.
Also, meet Cricket. He has something to say, and you're not gonna like it!
Cheerful Flower
Beyond the forest, a soft field of flowers extends. Flying over the field, it's easy to forget the dangers that lurk below!
Here the Fairy will arrive to deliver a mystery gift ...
Gloomy Road
Night has fallen... and Pinobee is still on the road! Who's afraid of the dark now?
Underground Prison
In the darkness, Pinobee didn't see the potholes in the road, and fell through! In the underground passages below, he comes across bug prisoners of all sorts.
Windy Valley
This small hollow in the ground seems like a vast valley to Pinobee. As its name suggests, there's a near-constant gale blowing, and the wind and rain make it hard for Pinobee to travel!
Restless Village
In the village, many bugs have assembled. There's some thinking to be done here, and also a big Boss to get rid of!
Lazy Kingdom
This place looks like a fun place, but it's all a cunning plot to get the bugs distracted. You can go for a ride here, but don't get carried away!
Robot Factory
Pinobee stumbles upon a secret factory. Here lies the secret behind the whole story... if you dare to uncover it.
In the Tummy
After a nasty accident in the factory, Pinobee is swallowed by a mechanical shark. Here, he is reunited with an old acquaintance.
Get through this stage and the final stage awaits. What is Pinobee's destiny? Play to the end to find out!
