Welcome

Hi and welcome to Happy Culture!

This game is about beekeeping and managing pollinating bees. You'll need to place hives and flowers so you can farm honey, with which you'll be able to buy better hives and better flowers.

Cellphone

The cellphone is your tool for shopping, learning about how to best care about your bees, and viewing your progression. It has a variety of useful applications installed in it, that will help you elevate your beekeeping hobby.

Bees

Bees will come out of their hives if there are flowers nearby. Bees have taste, and will only go pollinate flowers that are the right colour for them. So watch carefully after your bees.

Flowers

Flowers can yield only a certain amount of pollen at a time, and will disappear once they've given all of their pollen. You'll have to plant new flowers over time.

Hives

Hives can give birth to a certain amount of bees per period of time. It can also contain a maximum amount of honey. 

They will be damaged if there are no flower nearby, or if they are full of honey for too long. But fret not, your hives will also be healed each time you harvest them for honey.

Trash

Different types of trash will spawn on your terrain. Some of them are harmless and just take up space. Others contain sugars, which will attract your bees. This sugar is not good for them, and it will damage your hive, so get rid of them as soon as possible.

Trashcan

This item will appear on your terrain as soon as the game starts up. You can take trashes or any item you don't want anymore, and drop them over the trash. This will remove them from the field. You don't even need to change the bag!

If you buy something by accident, you can also put it in the trash, and the item will be returned to the shop, and your honey to you.

Shop

You can buy new flowers, hives and other useful items in the shop, if you have the honey of course. 

More and more items will appear as you gain honey, some have special conditions for appearing, so bee alert!

Terrain

Your terrain starts small, but maybe you don't care about big open spaces. If you do, you can buy more terrain in the shop. They will start unexpensive, but their price will go up as you buy new plots. 

Final word

Feel free to contact me if you have any question, comment or bug to report.

Neat game :D The graphics are very clean I like them, and the gameplay is intuitive with a logical cycle of flowers honey money flowers so on. I like being able to 'upgrade' the flowers, it gives a sense of progression and also is useful when you have lots of bees!! Same with upgrading the hive, the extra grace period before damage from honey is soooo useful oml >.<

I do have some constructive criticism! :D
The music is fitting and calming but does get VERY repetitive, I'd recommend probably switching the music (or adding multiple tracks) and possibly also adding separate sliders for music and sound effects, as currently there is just one slider that controls everything. That way you can turn off the music if wanted but still hear the little blips and fun sounds :3

Near the 'end' of the current content, you unlock the satellite dish to speed things up. It being a satellite is a bit unintuitive, I'd expected it to ~collect information~ aka. unlock something extra in the shop or a new place or something along those lines. I'm honestly not sure what else you could change it to, but something time themed would be more intuitive. Perhaps a clock??? Or a mysterious alien device idk

Also a toggle for it would be good! As a permanent speed increase, things happen faster meaning more money but also losing flowers faster + more trash and faster bees nyooming to said trash- uh oh D:
(Technically you can sell it to stop it, but then you'd have to re-buy it for 1k instead of free >.<)

A lil bug I noticed was when everything's sped up (or perhaps it's too many bees?), if you pause, the bees flip from side to side (they've grown aware, they're trying to escape o.o)

This one is more personal opinion than objective tbf, but for the terrain expansion, adding a little space to all the sides might be better than a lot to just the top! That way you only zoom out a little, rather than zooming out a lot with lots of dead space to the sides. (Though that may be harder to code- I don't know enough about coding to say jsdhfkd)

Also no clue if you've already planned something similar, but perhaps defending the hive from wasps or something trying to steal honey could give the player something extra to do while waiting for more honey :D Could also be a moneysink via buying tools for that. Could also make repairing the hive cost money too :0 Of course feel free to disregard since it is your game, tis merely lil ideas I had while playing :D /gen

But yeah I really do like this!!! I adoreeee bees and hives and am always excited to see new games about them!! This one is super neat and I can't wait to see where it goes :D

Hey! thank you so much for the feedback! I’m not sure if I plan to work on this game anymore unfortunately :( but if I do I’ll definitely take your comments in consideration

Absolutely love this game. So peaceful! ;)

Thank you thank you hihi!

I play without sound, I think "My Happy Song" should be here=)

I plan on making the song longer and add more parts to it :) maybe I'll make a 2h loop on youtube lol 8)

(+1)

I just figured out “my happy song” is an actual song that already exists lol

=)

cool

Thank you!
