Hive Time
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Hello, bee friends!

A small Hive Time update today with a new HUD, some extra tutorials, and a bunch of misc fixes. Note that costs for producing Wax, Honey and Jelly are now exposed as tooltips when mousing over the icons for each in the HUD (not final, but should get you by for now).

This build is a debug build, so if you're experiencing crashes, we might be able to get more details on what's going on (as always, email me at cheese@twolofbees.com)

I'm also currently accepting bee name suggestions (these will appear in vignettes). You can submit them via this form: https://forms.gle/uBoXCUFfBM2q8xdT7
