New Year update!

If the bees in our game were real, they'd celebrate New Year's more joyfully than anyone we know!
364 days a year they work hard and don't expect anything good, but then the holiday comes, and they can relax and dream of a bright future and peace with the hornets. And they wish all of us to take care of ourselves and hope for the best in the new year!

In this update, we've brought back thematic models and added beautiful fireworks.



And the time came when overseas supplies with new weapons and ideas reached our hive. Now, by order of the Queen, Bee-Captain squads were formed and the production of Bee-Captain drones began.



We've also updated the game engine to Unity 6.

Game optimization has improved, and the game now lacks the vulnerability found in older versions of Unity that you may have seen in the news this year.

Thank you all for your positive and, more importantly, negative feedback!
Happy New Year!

Big update with new game mode!

[p]Hello Hive!

Finally, a big update! We've added a new game mode in which you can reconsider your attitude to the fight between bees and hornets, because now you will command the attack on the hives. You will have access to 18 missions, the goal of which will be to destroy only the necessary bee infrastructure and accumulate as much strength as possible for the final battle!

Before the start of each mission, you will have access to a certain amount of money, with which you can hire an army of hornets, moths and dragonflies. Sometimes the tasks can be simple, and you can figure out how to complete them with the help of a couple of hornets. Then you will save some of the money and it will go to you in the next mission, which may not be as simple as the previous one.





And most importantly - you will be able to personally participate in the thick of the battle, as if you found yourself in 1942 and you have to survive in the sky over the ocean under fire from enemy anti-aircraft guns. Personal control and pinpoint targeting to complete tasks will bring the hornets the most success!

And also, for completing the new mode, you will receive a new unique support unit, with which it will be interesting to replay the main mode.


We also noticed that the game looks much more interesting if the bees end up in an ocean of oil or, for example, blood. Now in the settings there is an option to change the color of the ocean :)




Now we understand how funny it is
that all this was not there from the very beginning and added to the game:[/p]
  • [p]The ability to have more than 1 save[/p]
  • [p]The ability to change the difficulty level of the game in normal mode[/p]
  • [p]The ability to change the control keys[/p]
  • [p]An additional window with a more detailed tutorial, which can be opened at any time[/p]
  • [p]The ability to change the screen resolution :)[/p]
  • [p]The ability to disable VSync[/p]
  • [p]The ability to change the quality of graphics[/p]
  • [p]Replaced the annoying sound of pointing and pressing buttons[/p]
  • [p]Fixed problems with Thai and other Asian fonts
    [/p]
[p]Thanks to everyone who wrote their wishes, about bugs and just shortcomings![/p]

The update is being postponed!

Hello, bees!

In the last message, we told you about the upcoming update and promised to release it this week. We carefully read all your feedback and comments - they are what inspired us to add new ideas and improvements.

As a result, the list of tasks has grown significantly, and we realized that we will not be able to complete the work on time. In order not to release an update with errors, we decided to postpone the release.

The update will be released on June 26 - the first day of the summer sale!
This way, we will be able to please you with a stable and full-fledged version. Thank you for your support and patience!
