This is a great game and I really enjoyed playing it. Well done flawlessly setting up the worker bees to run on their own without any hiccups. Would love to see a version where I can built my bee empire, but with the seamless loop limitation I understand why you took this approach. The controls are also very intuitive and didn't require guessing on how to play the game. Well Done!

Cute concept for a game, cool to scale up exponetially with more bees. Would love to see more here, maybe more exploration or more types of bees? Also would benefit from speeding up the pacing of the start of the game a bit.

That was a ton of fun, and the little perching animations are super cute,.  The UI felt like it got in the way a few times, but very minor cases.  Also, the walking speed felt a little slow at times, but there was enough going on later that this felt ok then.  A lot of the little effects and polish look really nice, and I got an old flash game feeling from this in the good way. Very satisfying loop, well done!

Pretty fun. It's giving a little bit of "idle game" vibes with the worker bees over time, watching it grow more and more. It's interesting how you included the "seamless loop" limitation to switch over to a fresh state. The animations / movement speed started to feel a little tedious at points, maybe having those a little faster would be nice

Developer

Thanks! When I go in for improvements I will keep this in mind

It was really satisfying building up my little bee base. I loved all the gathering and feeding sounds, they added a lot to the fun. I liked how it built up over time, and once I got the workers rolling and my little bee empire going, I was deeply engaged lol. Loved the art too. The color palette felt bright and springy, and the shading on the tall grass looked really nice. The ambience and buzzing really sold the feeling of being outside as well.
