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)
ABSOLUTLEY AMAZING!!!!!! I had loads of fun playing this. And this game is absolutley huuuuuuggggggeeeeeeeeeeeee. How did you do this in 7 days ONLY.
Well Done! :D Goodluck (even tho you dont need it)
Thanks! we worked really hard hehehe If you wanna see the code, there’s a link to the github page ^^
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!
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!)
The best game I've played this week, it has charmed me, congratulations!
thank you so much ^^ I’m happy you liked it
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”
Oh that would be perfect!
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
This is a surprisingly stressful cozy game. Once I learned the mechanic, it was extremely enjoyable!
I know right?! It does require to stay surprisingly attentive XD
Really relaxing, until at some point I had too many bees, or I placed a hive too fast and couldn't place enough flowers in time.
The music and the art style really fits the game and having a phone instead of a simple menu is a great idea.
Thank you for the comment ^^ yeah it does require a bit more planning than one might think hehe
Very therapetic and relaxing game - but I have a hunch it gets progressively more stressful as you get more bees and expand, so I guess you as the player can decide how stressful or relaxing you want the game to be XD
I does become a bit stressful ^^' but there's a peaceful mode you can activate if you want (in the options)
that was like, way too addicting. I don't know how or why but I could only put it down after getting so many bees my browser crashed, fantastic job
I'm so happy to read that haha I must admit I didn't expect the game to be that catchy when we started
Fun and chill, I love it!
maybe the progression is a bit too slow? idk, that's not much of a problem but it's a bit long to get into business I think.
also, but it was already discussed in the comments, the music deserves to be longer ^^
Appart from that, ggwp, it looks cool, plays nicely and everything fits together perfectly :D
Thank you for the feedback! :)
I was thinking about getting the progression a bit more linear (instead of quadratic as it is now). maybe dropping the price of first hives a bit + adding other reward items. I guess this would help a bit
So cute! Love it. Fun and addicting. Good job
Thank you for your feedback ^^
Love the game! The music is simple but fits the game very well.
Thank you for the comment :) it's not the most complicated song I made indeed lol but I agree with you that it fits the "calm gardening" vibe
This one really hooked me in - I like the simplicity of it, and I think with a some more time put into it you could have a full game here!
We do have some ideas for making the game deeper and more balanced indeed! glad you enjoyed the game!
Good idea, i like it, preaceful and chill game to play, good entry!! I would recommend adding some button to play again instead of refreshing the page
there's actually a replay button in the phone! it's in the "power" menu
This game is very addictive! I couldn't stop playing it, it's very fun
It has a good concept and cute graphics, I could play and relax for hours
yeah I've played quite alot too xD we're pretty happy with the result. thank you for the feedback
Cute and relaxing game with cute and relaxing art and music :)
I was really surprised by the scope of the gameplay referring to all the updgrades, many different "building" options, even a multi-functional smartphone :O
I'm glad you liked it! we've been working pretty hard lol. programming something like 30h on the first three days lol
This is a very cute and fun game. Honestly at first I was getting bored and was thinking to myself... this game needs more than just a couple flowers and then all of a sudden I got an achievement and BOOM. Way more flowers and the options just didnt stop. A lot of cool features and I love the idea of the phone. Its very creative. Was worried at first that this game was too simple and then it exploded and became very fun and interesting. I love how you can get more land. One of my favorite entries.
One thing I think would be a nice add to the game is if the hives costed less at the start and then costed more when you had more on your little garden. Also I love the achievement system!
Thank you for the feedback :) I'm happy you enjoyed it.
Making hives more expensive after buying them is indeed a good idea. It could also make the game more challenging over time.
Great game! Loved the interpretation of the limitation, and it felt very well executed.
Thank you! We worked pretty hard haha
This was a lot of fun. Relaxing and happy and clever.
Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed the game!
