Bee-rilliant Farm by Noxbuds


Build a bee colony, and harvest its honey to sell at the market. Buy better vehicles to carry more honey, and better bee suits to help you harvest that honey faster.
Feels like this ended up much better than my previous entries. Got much more content and gameplay in, though unfortunately it is still lacking a bit in sound. Still not really sure about the tuning for the pricing, some of it feels a little much.
The only button is your mouse left click - you can just tap everything.

What I love is that you have created a entire economy in this. You earn money, use some on maintenance and then trying to buy /research new things.
Best of all, the theme of this Jam "Running out of space" is something beautifully addressed in this and certainly gave me many moments of panic. LOL
WHAT I LOVED MOST OF ALL, is that there's an element of conservation in here. As a novice beekeeper myself, I really appreciate the detail you put in here. Not only about frames not always yielding a 100% yield, but also that they sadly die and that there are pesticides that harm them. If only I could afford a fancier suit in real life, I might get stung less...
Great job though.
Off to bed, but I'll play this tomorrow again.
The graphics are great in their simplicity too.
Nicely done. I'll be bookmarking this one :)
The only thing the game is missing is beeing able to save (or at least continue after closing it).
If you don't bother take a look at our game when we focused on Graphics and visuals and see the results that we got:

Graphics very cute and consistent, gameplay fun with lots of depth and the theme fits perfectly with the beehives constantly running out of space, great game! :thumbsup:
