Pollinate or Die

Pollinate or Die takes you to the barren remains of a once-thriving Earth, where you play as one of the last bumblebees with the power to heal the planet. You take to the skies in a high-speed action roguelite, gathering pollen and nectar to sustain your hive and strive to unite the scattered bee colonies before the wasteland swallows what remains. Between ruined cities and toxic winds, you’ll clash with rival insects and predators that now dominate the wilds. Each run reveals fragments of the catastrophe and hides paths to restoration, while the fate of wild bees and the future of ecosystems hinge on your wings.

In this dynamic blend of speed and strategy, mastery comes from flight. You must weave through dangerous environments, exploit opportunities, and outmaneuver foes as you push toward rebuilding a living network of pollinators. Your choices shape the world you restore and the legends you leave behind.
