I think it was quite good game, even though it wasn't finished. It had a very cozy feel and I really liked the idea of "making a garden that slowly grows and expands" :)
the honey economy is booming! chill vibes, enjoyed the sandbox vibe but wished there was a bit more of a goal. I thought the cutout art style was a cool idea!
I really liked the vibes here. The scrapbook/collage style is really nice. I think the only thing I didn't like is once my camera was zoomed out I couldn't see my cute bees anymore :(
I really enjoyed my time playing this. The music really set the mood.
The bee stickers bobbing up and down was a very cute touch too.
I want to see more "Zen Clicker" games now.
I'm honesty shocked with how pleasant the experience was. I've never seen a game like this before and I don't know if collage is a genre it is now and can definitely grow more. I would like to have seen more objects to place and less windows-style backgrounds placed together, but overall great job!
The name didn't lie. I actually really enjoyed it - just pure bliss. Loved the bee cutouts, very cute
You know, I believe this to be a finished game. Just placing nice images in an garden of sorts was relaxing and enjoyable (especially after this Jam crunch). I like that you did not blindly follow normal click/idle game conventions (Its different from those genres, I don't know what else to compare it to) by not showing the rate of how much honey you made per second or how each item placement increased that. I believe that's a big part in why this game works.
It was a shame that the game eventually zoomed so far out that I could not see what I previously gardened (is that a word?), but it was nice having a change in scenery and being able to place different things, more item variety would have been a nice touch to make it more sandboxy. Limited time can be brutal.
I will remember this game :)
Thank you mush for the positive feedback! Honestly, a lot of those conventions were broken because I just didn't have enough time but I'm glad that it worked! If I was doing it again, it'd be good to include a way to zoom back in and see what you made, and obviously more item variety would've helped, but yeah! I'm really proud of what I made and I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
