- “It will be sweet, if bees have second part, interesting mechanics and game design decisions.”
- “Strategy doesn't get very complex though, and the picking up your own base mechanic is finnicky.”
- “Strategy doesn't get very complex though, and the picking up your own base mechanic is finicky.”

- “Considering it's a completely free game with no monetization, I think AI assets are reasonable to overlook.”
- “The only bad thing about this (surprisingly skill-based RTS) game is that it's a free game and a complete game with no monetization, so you can't even directly support the amazing developers anywhere because the only thing I can find on them is an empty page and this singular game.”
