Thanks! I tried to make each jar visually distinct, so I'm really glad you liked the art.

simply lovely, I got a bit confused with how u sell it with the start, a tutorial, background music and a main menu is what this game lacks, and they are easy fixes, nice work

Thank you! 

I'm currently working on making the controls more convenient and intuitive, and hopefully intuitive enough that a tutorial won't be necessary.

And good point about the music! I think sound is one of the key ingredients of the cozy genre, so adding background music would definitely be a big improvement.

Thank you! Glad you liked it!

The bee AI was actually the hardest thing for me to implement, so there are some bugs related to finding flowers, especially when players dig them up or sell them.

The music and sound effects in the game were amazing! I really loved the bee sounds that were there when I was clicking on the bees and the clicking noises from the honey jar! Very adorable, and you managed to capture the cozy spring vibes perfectly! I really loved the visuals and the graphics! Something I can suggest is maybe a "Sell All" button or an upgrade section where the bee can produce honey faster or add more bees! It's one of the coziest games I've played so far, and it was a fun experience! Awesome job!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it! 

I've actually been thinking about the "Sell All" button as a possible improvement. My main concern is that it could turn the game into a clicker, but I agree that the current selling mechanic might feel slow. I'm currently working on improving it to make it faster and more convenient.

And you're right about the upgrades! I wanted to keep it simple for the jam, but they would definitely make progression more interesting!

Thank you so much! Really glad you had fun playing!

I'm planning to make a small post-jam update sometime soon with some of the suggestions people have made, and features I originally planned but had to cut due to time constraints.

The art of this game is very beautiful and you nailed the incremental mechanics! Is was son fun seeing all the honey containers on the screen and playing with them. I would have love to be able to sell the honey easier or faster, that would have been so satisfying. Having to do a left click and then a right click per honey container felt very slow. But overall the game is great!

Thank you! Happy you enjoyed the incremental mechanics! 

I'll tweak the selling mechanic and controls after the jam to make them more convenient.

I love the detail that you get a bee sound when you click a bee. The game is cozy, the graphics are sweet. I'm on a good spree right now rating those games because that's the second one in a row that has graphics which are better than ones in some games I've payed for. The idea is great, the name is great, it's all in all a very good presentation. I also love that the music/sounds are not earpiercing so you don't need volume controls in your game. I really enjoyed it and this is probably currently with another game the best one I played so far in this jam.

Thank you so much! I'm really happy you liked the game and left such a detailed comment.

I'm actually quite sensitive to bad sound design, so I try to make the audio in my game as pleasant and cohesive as possible (even though I'm not very good at it :D).

While I was making the game, the bees would sometimes get in my way and i'd accidentaly click them instead of flowers or jars. I decided to add a sound and turned it into a cute little detail for players to discover.

Satisfying gameplay loop with a cozy feel. Although I must admit, I very quickly found a recipe that sold for over 100, and I think I may now be the #1 honey producer in the world.

Thanks! Glad you liked the gameplay loop! 

I see what you mean, I didn't have the time to properly balance the game, so the progression curve might feel a bit steep.

Very creative, but the mouse click mechanism exhausted my right hand very quickly as the honey began to multiply out of control. It went from cozy to stressful, but I found some humor in it. Reminded me of the Tribbles in Star Trek. LOVED the pixel art, the pollination mechanics, and the physics.

Thanks! Glad you liked it and found it creative!

Good point about the clicking, I can see how it becomes stressful. Many people have mentioned that it's inconvenient, but I hadn't really thought about how it affects the cozy feel.

Thanks again for the helpful feedback!

You're right about selling everything. I wanted to add that, but didn't manage to implement it in the final hours.

Really glad you liked my game so much, especially the numbers going up.

It means a lot since it's my first incremental game!

Managed to pay the loan in 3:59! Didn't understand what made bees choose the flowers to create a certain type of honey (closest to center, most flowers, most recent, random?), but just watching them go was fun. Really nice art too, congratulations!

Thank you! Glad you liked the art!

Bees just pick random flowers you planted. they just fly around and increase production speed.

The honey you get depends on the combination of flowers placed in the apiary.

I’m not sure how to earn coins, so I just ended up playing around with the physics, doing strikes with the honey jars.

Reply
artsvDeveloper143 days ago

Thanks for playing!

To earn coins, you need to pick up an item with LMB and press RMB to sell it.

Good point though, the controls might not be very clear.
