We already have ideas for new updates and co-op modes, but we'd love to hear your suggestions first.

We've tested the game as best we could, but if you find any bugs, please feel free to report them to us on Discord or in the in-game Google Form. We'll try to fix them as quickly as possible.

We've also made the following changes based on your suggestions and bug reports from Google Forms this year:

  • Steam Cloud support, which automatically uploads your game saves.

  • Automatic detection of the player’s Steam language when launching the game for the first time.

  • A button that summons several worker bees in case you lose all your bees and nurseries, allowing you to continue playing.

  • The maximum number of sots has been increased to 1000.

  • Weather conditions have been saved.

  • The Plasma Factory now consumes energy.

  • Trio no longer requires plasma to build.

  • Pollen and nectar harvesting points have been separated.

  • Bees will now harvest more pollen or nectar depending on the number of empty storages.

  • Sandbox and regular game save bugs have been fixed.

  • Electricity bugs have been fixed.

  • Fixed a bug with saving money transferring to the next level in Challenge Mode.

  • Fixed a bug with the Blade Runner figurine decoration.

Thank you very much for your participation! Now, together with the Queen, we will be thinking about future updates based on your ideas :)
