Bee Idle

Our biggest update yet: "The Eternal Homestead" and the "Swarm Flight" bring weeks of endgame, automatons that take over the routine, and a cinematic return. • NEW – Swarm Flight: a whole new stage above the Golden Eras. The old queen moves out, you collect Queen Cells and spend them on Swarm Power, Queen's Feed and the Far Flight to new varieties. • NEW – Automatons: the Master Builder, Crystal Keeper, Scout and Era Automaton handle purchases, crystals, ascensions and New Eras – each with its own settings. Plus Beekeeper Rules in the style of "if … then …". • NEW – Trials: nine eras with a handicap, each with a permanent reward – later returning as Variety Trials in five stages. • NEW – Breakthrough & ten mythic varieties: after all trials, the ladder goes beyond Ambrosia, from Amber to Primal Honey, each variety with its own rule. • NEW – Essences & Signatures: every Golden Era brings a find. Slot essences into your varieties and decorate the hive with the signatures you've earned. • NEW – Goods & Reputation: in the Golden Eras, the Factory and trade drive their own upgrades and the honey price. • NEW – The Eternal Homestead: Royal Jelly Refining, Golden Eras, Royal Decrees, Frontier Research, Nectar Rush, variety trophies & perks, a weekly contract, almanac days and the Album with 31 stickers. • Cinematic return: your offline earnings pour into the jar as a little show – from your very first ascension. • Clearer: consistent terms, ascension progress right at the hive, before → after on every purchase, Factory recipes compared with the market stall, and stacked instead of overlapping notifications. • Smoother late game: much less processing load, and the honey in the combs is now drawn directly with Metal. • Also: a fairer progression curve throughout the game, a tidier jewel tab, more readable colors, ascending with VoiceOver, an option to hide the bee swarm in Settings, complete German & English text, and lots of fixes. Grab a jar and start buzzing!
