I really like the artstyle, not to mention how addicting this is... some really wierd audio stuff is going on though, wierd sound clipping/breaking; not sure if its intended but its not to pleasant on the ears.

Developer(+1)

Definitely not intended! Are you on the web version? Thanks for playing!

yehp web... I think its just that ur sfx are too high pitched, and when theres so many sounds playing at the same time the audio starts to not sound so pleasant.

Developer(+1)

Weird.. I didn’t see many reports about that

But you’re likely correct, they’re pretty high pitched, and it’s not something I tested too thoroughly. Can you say what sounded harsh? Or if it’s a general thing

I’m guessing collecting the bees is the sound that gets maximum polyphony, specially with some upgrades

HostSubmitted

id say audio in general, but its noticeable when ur hovering over and deploying all of your bees

This was super fun, really well made game. I had a great time playing it. I agree with others there could be a bit more info about what certain things do, but other than that, really well done! The sound effects were really great as well.

Developer

Thanks for playing, and for the feedback!

AMAZING game. Nearly perfectly executed, the only thing I would change is a bit more feedback on what “expand hive” does, along with the honeycomb size requirements for unlocking new upgrades. Any other changes I would make — like adding BGM, or a prestige system — are purely for a post-jam release. Well done; give yourself a pat on the back.

Thanks for the high praise! At first expanding the hive visually changes the hive, but later on I ran out of sprites for it, but it still has gameplay changes by unlocking the upgraded flowers and adding an overall multiplier to honey collected. Totally agree that there’s no communication from the game to the player about that!

Fun game, but i ended up with economic inflation jaja

The honestly addictive incremental game!) Feels great, looks great. And i was surprised how many upgrades in total it has). Perfect color palette choice. In short, very solid jam entry.

Thanks for the comment! Choosing 2 colors is surprisingly difficult when you have to use them to represent so much different things, I’m glad you liked it!

HAHAHA YES MORE BEES!! I love incremental games and this is a great take on one! The sound effects are great, the gameplay is fun (although often a bit trivial to purchase upgrades when I had more than enough resources for it) and turning the world into a giant flower is great. Excellent!

Developer

I’m glad you liked it! Thanks for playing

That world domination part was unexpected. I like the visual panels and I wish they were bigger panels. I often miss seeing what's going in in it while I focus on other UI.

Developer

Unfortunately I’m not too experienced with art in general, so I tried focusing more on other things.

I’m glad some people liked the panels though! Will keep in mind for the future :D Thanks a lot for playing!

Dang, we had literally the same idea for our games lol! And yours is better in, like, every way... The only thing I could possibly complain about is that it doesn't fit the theme as well as it might. Anyway, congrats on the excellent game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I didn’t play yours yet, but seems like at the very least it looks much better than mine!

About the theme, yeah, I tried to approach it in a more indirect way. The flowers grow with the hive at first, without direct player control, but it’s only after the bees start meddling with them that it truly takes a world-consuming proportion. I’m glad you liked it! Will give yours a try later :)

An incredible incremental game, I loved the ending it reminded me a lot of paper clip simulator. The little tone each time you get a bee is so good because it shows auditorily the exponential growth. The only thing is that the later upgrades are too cheap compared to your earnings. Other than that, great game and I would love if you added more

Developer

Thanks for the comment! As other’s pointed out, the progression really is not 100%… It was something I kept adjusting until the last minute
