this game starts of simple, but soon you kinda realize you have to really manage your bees and it gets more chaotic as you get more bees and thus need to be constantly replacing flowers

Overall, amazing game, though i did have some lag issues (maybe it was just me though)

Also, I’ve been doing Unity stuff for like, 5 or 6 years, so that helps alot, and the artist with which I worked was really proficient :)

the game has looked like this, with nothing visibly changing, for the past half hour. i suppose i should consider this a win-state

i’m not sure what the cell towers (?) do, and it feels like there’s more terrain cut off by my screen? (the last upgrade didn’t visibly change anything) but stuff feels pretty alright.

there is a bit of easy cheese tho: you can harvest honey from the hives while the game is paused!

oh my! thank you for breaking the game! it’s interesting to see what the limit is!

cell towers make your bees faster :)

you can use right click or mid click to drag the screen and see the remaining of your terrain!

I didn’t think about the possibility of harvesting honey when paused! thank you! I shall fix that when the finals are over!

Pineberry FoxSubmitted270 days ago

oh! i don’t have a mouse so right click / mid click never would have occurred to me. mid click doesn’t exist at all, but right click is ctrl+click (or a two finger tap, but i actually don’t know if that method is draggable!)

Cute cute! I love the look of this game, and the "multiple applications" on the phone is super clever.

Constructive feedback: I found it pretty confusing what to do. Probably because I don't play these kinds of games. It would be awesome for a future version to have a tutorial level that teaches you what all of the tools and things do. And it would be good if the $$$$ you have is more apparent, like bigger font or something, or off the cell phone screen in the may play area.

Thank you for the feedback! I thought about adding a “task” system with rewards. I think this would be a great place to add the explainations about how to use stuff. something like “buy 1 terrain upgrade. reward : 3 free flowers”

HugBugSubmitted271 days ago

Oh that would be perfect!

derajuDeveloper271 days ago

for the honey coins not being visible enough, that’s very true. I didn’t notice it but it did bug me to open the cellphone to see how much honey I had

Took a bit too figure out (mistake on my part because didnt read the instructions) but its a very cozy bee management game! nice job!

Thank you for the feedback! to be honest, I think the game lacks direction a bit. who reads instructions anyway? lol
