  • The ascension mode adds replayability by introducing fun restrictions for an extra challenge after completing the main game.
  • The late game can feel lacking in motivation, with upgrades that don't encourage further engagement or completion.

    The gameplay features unique mechanics, particularly the doubling of bees, which adds a layer of strategic depth and optimization challenges. While the game is charming and offers fun automation elements, it tends to lose momentum in the late game, with players feeling less motivated to utilize certain upgrades. Additionally, some users have reported crashes after extended play sessions, which may hinder the overall experience.

    • “Charming game, interesting mechanics where doubling bees seems to be the primary part to think through.”
    • “Some really fun unique mechanics which makes optimization a nice challenge :) would recommend giving it a try!”
    • “Very relaxing, fun automation game, that goes rather deep (gameplay wise) later on.”
    • “In the late game, it does run out of steam a little. There were certainly cool-seeming upgrades, but I didn't feel encouraged or mechanically driven to use them to complete the game, such as the copy-cages.”
    • “The graphics are unique, but unfortunately, I'm experiencing multiple crashes after a few hours of gameplay.”
  • graphics2 mentions

    • “The graphics are unique, but unfortunately, I'm experiencing multiple crashes after a few hours of gameplay.”

    • “The music quickly became repetitive and lost its charm after a short while.”
    • “I found the soundtrack to be quite bland and uninspiring, making it easy to ignore.”

    • “The grinding in this game feels endless and tedious, making it hard to enjoy the other aspects.”
    • “I found myself spending more time grinding for resources than actually playing the game.”
