Play Maya the Bee and Her Friends Online

Maya the Bee and Her Friends is one of those Game Boy Color games that feels like a warm hug—simple, colorful, and full of that early 2000s charm. You play as Maya, bouncing between flower platforms, dodging spiders (seriously, why are they always so grumpy?), and helping out other bugs with little tasks. It’s not exactly a challenge if you’re used to hardcore platformers, but that’s kind of the point—it’s just nice to zip around, collecting pollen and vibing with the cheerful soundtrack.

The sprites are tiny but full of personality, especially when Maya does her little happy dance after finishing a level. And yeah, it’s definitely aimed at kids, but there’s something oddly relaxing about how straightforward it all is. Perfect for when you want to unwind without overthinking buttons or combos. Just watch out for those wasps—they’re way more annoying than the spiders.
