Research: Similar themed games on the market

Bumble Tumble:





Bumble Tumble is a physics-based game, in which the main player wants to collect money. Players have to turn the wheel and use the gears in order to make the honeycombs bash against each other and make the honey explode.
The graphics and bright use of colour work extremely well on this app, and has inspired me to use bright colouring in order to attract players' attention and add an element of 'fun' to the app.


Bumblebee Touchbook:



Bumblebee Touchpad is a great educational app that inspires young children to read more. Users can learn in a fun way by touching the words on the screen, then the app will say the word for the user. This game is definitely aimed at younger audiences, how ever a slight concern of mine is that this app suits a niche market and would have to be owned by a parent, as the chances of a toddler/young child owning an iPad is extremely slim. 

BumbleBomber:


BumbleBomber involves character 'Bumble' having to save the flowers from extinction by helping them through their pollen shortage. Players have to travel as far as possible (objective fits to my common convention game research in an earlier blog post: last the longest) and pollinate as many flowers as possible, whilst steering clear of obstacles such as 'bad flowers'. 
A strong point of this game is that it is simple, easy to use and has different game modes to suit many players' tastes. Using interactivity modes such as online highscores, and the option to beat your own best score, this app could be suggested as a strong game on the market in terms of 'bumble bee' themes.
