Hey!
I finally got to play your game!
It's a really bee-autiful game and very relaxing and therapeutic to play, I love it!
If you add even sounds to it, this game will have an amazing game feel, it already does.
Btw. did you do it on purpose that you can have maximum 69 bees? ^^
I know that rating is over, but if you have the time, check out my game and leave me a feedback on that page, I'd still appreciate it to hear what you think! You won't regret playing it! ;)

About the 69 max bees: NO! LMAO!! I didn't pay attention to that AT ALL and then my BOSS at my day job found out I made this game and PLAYED IT AND SENT ME A SCREENSHOT!!!!! My heart nearly stopped :') I think you're the first other person to notice (or at least the only other to point it out haha!)
Anyway, thanks for the kind words & I definitely plan to add some sounds & a little music! Hope it's even more relaxing & enjoyable then :)
I might not be able to get to it tonight, but I'll definitely play & leave feedback on your game soon! It's a promise ;)
I really like the bees and flowers, and your art I really nice! It would be cool if the flowers had a point system, and an enemy or two to increase the gameplay.
Thanks! I appreciate it :)
If by point system you kinda mean like daisies = x number of bees, that's already baked in there! It's not explicitly shown, but if you're inclined to do some math, you can work out how many bees each flower is worth by looking at total number of bees + what you've got planted. However! I could show that explicitly (maybe as a toggle?) if that would be useful :)
And I was thinking about enemies! Like maybe birds or something? If I added that, it'd probably be as a different play mode, 'cause I like the peaceful decorating / gardening-sim vibe. That's definitely something to consider though! Thanks for the feedback :)
I really like this one, very cool idea...
Thanks! Glad you liked it ^^
Great concept, you should definitly add an ambiance sound.
Congrats for you submission 😀
I really like this garden simulator! Keep working on this so many flowers to choose from. Post-Jam could make a food forest garden other stats, some sfx etc. I like it!
Thanks! I appreciate it :)
Definitely planning on adding a bit more content after the jam! Hope you'll play again when it's updated 😊
Will do! It could be used for education too. Native plant gardens etc. Lots of potential!
Nice start game. Continuos improve it.
bee-autiful! lol
Definitely on of the more unique games of the jam. The bees are happy. It definitely needs some sounds. Just general ambience from a garden and maybe some noises if you plant / remove flowers. No need to bring the bee sounds to front.
Thanks! Appreciate the feedback :) Sounds are def on the post-jam to-do list!
Nice little game, hope you will improve it much more in the future <3
Definitely planning on it, thanks for playing! Appreciate it :)
Very cute! I also managed to put 2 flowers in 1 spot and they both bloomed xD I like the idea too, cozy and relaxing, please put some music later, maybe some animations of bees in the hive, or perhaps expanding to more hives? So there's always something to do:) Followed!
Thanks! I appreciate the suggestions, too :) I would like to add some more animations for the bees in particular, it's something I ran out of time on. But I think it'd be cute if they flew in and out of the hive and/or landed on flowers, too :) Music is also on the to-do list!
Cool, waiting for it!
Very nice. Add some calm music and a bit more stuff to do / gameplay elements and it would be a nice relaxation game. It might be fun to learn more about the flowers, a little explanation of each flower in nature?
That's a nice idea, to be able to read a bit about the unlocked flowers :) I'll think about it! Thanks for playing & for the suggestions :)
i like this game !
like tycoon game !
Relaxing Game !
add main menu will be better :3
Ah yep, sure did forget to add one of those lol! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I'll add a main menu to the to-do list for after the jam :)
I had 47 bees at one point. Great concept to educate about the importance of flowers attracting bees! :-)
Thanks! Would love if this inspired some folks to plant a pollinator garden of their own haha!
wow i really loved this, yay growing plants and attracting bees, and everything was so pretty and stuff, it also helped me realize i like this type of games :D i maybe found bug that u can plant multiple flowers on the same spot?:0 but i enjoyed it and got almost 100bees, I also enjoyed the pun xD
I like the kinda minimalistic design but its also super charming and ;o; pls i love the idea of building a garden for bees o3o
Thanks! I'm really glad you enjoyed it! I really like games like this, so it's very cool to hear that this might've helped you get into more games like this ^^
Also thanks for pointing out the bug! I think I've figured out what went wrong there, so I'll try to fix that after the jam :)
I do enjoyed planting the trees and the graphics but, was not quite sure what the winning / loosing condition was here. And also some sort of music can really help the game. it also went well with the theme "Build"
also plz do consider trying our game as well. we would love to get your opinion 😊
Thanks for playing! It's a very casual game, so it doesn't really have a "lose" state. Win state is getting 50+ bees in your garden, but I could definitely make that clearer! I appreciate the feedback :)
And I did actually check out & comment on Achieve already, really nice game :) Especially liked the graphics!
cute game :3
with a lil sound effects and chill music, it can be a good relaxing farming game :3
well made !
Thanks! Music's definitely on the list for updates :)
Really enjoyed this, being a big fan of the bees!. A solid base to build on. A bit of relaxing music and the occasional sound effect could go a long way for this game. A solid idea and a great fit for the theme. You did a good job and I hope you keep building on it!.
Definitely agree on the music + sound effects, and I'm planning on adding those in after the jam! (Along with some other improvements, hopefully!)
Thanks for playing & I'm glad you enjoyed!
Quite a unique game. Could do with some buzzing bees sound effects I think.
Thanks! And 100% agree. Ran out of time for the jam submission, but buzzing sound effects & some chill music is definitely something I want to add after the jam ends!
