APICO Steam Awards Nomination!!

Hey Beekeepers!

I hope you've all been enjoying your time with the butterflies and new bees!
It's that time of year where Steam opens up it's Award Nominations!



Every year Steam has a bunch of different categories, "GOTY", "Labour of Love" etc, and as players you can nominate your favourite game for the category that fits it best!

There's lots of different categories but our suggestion for APICO is "Sit Back and Relax":

This game is the antidote to a busy day. It's smooth, it's relaxing, it lets your worries melt away. This game is your moment of zen.

Sounds pretty APICO to me!

If you have a spare moment today, please consider helping us out and nominating APICO for the category you think is best - you can cast your vote from this event (apparently) and also from the store page here:

Papilio 2.0.1

Hey Beekeepers!

Just a small update to cover the common bugs/crashes that have been seen - thanks to everyone that’s been reporting these issues.
Also a couple small changes, including the ability to release butterflies by dropping them, in future I’ll look into some sort of larger storage for the hoarders amongst you (so basically all of us lol)

I hope you’ve all been enjoying the new content!
If you have, and you have a spare minute, please drop a nice review if you can - it really helps out APICO’s visibility on Steam
