Fun short TD game i just wish it was better optimized, there are some bugs with the level goals in challenge mode, if you win with one condition it marks all as completed which takes away some replayability

This game feels like it should be great. But right out of the gate I'm really confused by a few core aspects: Why is the honey storage behind cosmetic research without any means of knowing otherwise? Why would you want cosmetics in a wave based defense game where resources are critical early on? If you could see the path to it would be a lot more reasonable, but it took more than one save to just do it out of lack of other options... it seems silly. Again, Hardened wax storage not anywhere near the actual factory for that resource... but for some weird reason Ambrosia storage is RIGHT after the factory unlock... it's almost like you mock us... I suppose it's just a gripe more than an actual flaw... it's just such a core part of the game it baffles me that after all this time, it still is this way and I'm left wondering why... but either way... ALl in all I'd wait for a sale, but if you really like bees and cartoonish non sense then I wouldn't say this is a bad game... just a bit... awkward at first. Or maybe I'm dumb and it's amazing. idk. Do whatever you want. Your money. lol

You know, I never thought I'd find a game where you are controlling a hive of bees, while using gatling guns to shoot incoming moth-bombers and swarms of wasps and other bugs, but I'm all for it! Quite a fun little game, I definitely enjoyed playing it! The game is, however, missing some QOL features that I would consider essential (e.g. unlocking tier 2 storages does not replace the T1 ones, so you'll still have the T1 ones on your hotbar despite never wanting to build them, plus you'll need to manually delete and rebuild all old storages, you can't place the higher level ones over them), and performance does suffer towards the end, but it's quite a fun game overall

What an adorable game, its not too hard and doesnt go super deep into the tower defense aspect. Id love for there to be somewhat of a peaceful campaign where you have to deal with events or otherwise non-combat related scenarios, though its fine for what it is. One thing I dont get is how somebody could make a gamemode where you have to hurt the poor adorable bees. Like honestly, this game is worth the price alone just to watch the bees fly around a bunch and bump into each other.

It has waaaaaay more than you think. Its and excellent game with decent balance. I love the animations of everything so much. Just a few quality of life upgrades of some kind might be nice: -Placing buildings place tiles or replace other buildings /OR/ upgrading a type of building by clicking on it and paying the required resources -Mass culling, not really needed but in some cases -Endgame framerate is killing me
