This update reworks how the hive grows in the mid and late game, adds new things to do on the meadow, and fixes the most requested annoyances (Alt-Tab, hello).
Upgrades that keep going 📈
- Many tree nodes are now repeatable — buy them again to level up. Owned nodes show their level and the price of the next one.
- Honey x16 and x32 are in, plus Honey Boost: +25% honey per level, no cap.
- Grow Speed, Grid Ring and Storage are each a single node you keep leveling instead of three separate ones. Existing saves convert automatically.
- Gardener bees got their own line: Green Thumb (plant more often) and Composting (see below).
Aura, reworked ✨
- Lab: Aura is now visible — pulsing rings spread from your hive across the meadow.
- Flowers inside the rings give bonus pollen. Level Lab: Aura to raise the bonus and Aura Reach to widen the rings.
- Burst and Bloom have been retired; Instant Grow and Aura carry the late game.
Life (and death) on the meadow 🥀
- Flowers can rot. When an old flower withers it may stay behind, grey and useless, blocking its tile. Click it to clear the spot — or buy Composting and let your gardeners tidy up as they fly.
- Plant what you want: click an empty tile to choose a Dandelion, Rose or Tulip (handy for lining up 2x2 SUPER flowers).
- Bigger meadows grow more flowers. Flower growth now scales with your grid size, so expanding actually raises your income.
- Storage is real now: honey stops at your storage cap, shown on the HUD with a meter. Spend it or upgrade Storage!
Shop & interface 🛒
- Buy bees in bulk — x1 / x10 / x25 buttons (or Shift-click).
- Cleaner HUD: honey, capacity, multiplier and income on one line.
- Aura and Instant Grow status live in the side panel with icons.
- The upgrade tree fits the window at any UI scale, and scrolls if it still can't.
- Title screen: Continue / New Game.
Options & fixes 🔧
- New Options screen (title screen and pause menu): window mode, language, volume, UI scale.
- Alt-Tab works — the game now runs as a borderless window by default. Prefer exclusive fullscreen? It's in Options.
- Fixed clicks landing away from the cursor on Windows with display scaling (125% / 150%).
- Old saves load fine; your progress carries over.
Thanks for playing — and for the feedback. Keep it coming! 🐝
