### 5/5 — Love this game

*2026-08-12*

This studio is the best game studio ever. This and hatch dragons are the only games on my phone

### 4/5 — Great, but...

*2026-07-31, version 0.2.70*

We need more bushes, especially blueberry.

### 3/5 — Great game but….

*2026-07-25, version 0.2.70*

I love this game up until recently, I would send my bees on a mission and i would check back an hour later and it was like I never sent them. Didn’t get any of the rewards, but it still used the honey and “the cost” items?!

### 5/5 — well developed! but…

*2026-07-24, version 0.2.70*

i have way too many of certain vegetables (garlic), and way too little of common ones like carrots and potato. i have so much tree fruit (apples, oranges, pears) and they don’t seem to be needed for anything, or maybe i’m too early in the game. it would be nice for the post office board to prioritize things i have too much of and help get rid of excess inventory. 

i also really wish shears and decorations were easier to get. so it would be perfect if the post office board would do more of taking my extra fruit/veg (not just cooked dishes) and give me shears and decoration tokens. 

overall this game is really fun and cute. it’s so much more than just a simple merge game. there are lots of fun aspects and the whole world feels immersive.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-07-23, version 0.2.70*

They steal your data

### 5/5 — I love playing bees!

*2026-07-14*

Honey grove is my favourite game and the only one I’ve stuck with for this long (6 months!). I love collecting the flowers and reading the story lines with each character. Definitely a grind but I’m happy to have something to destress with day to day.

**Developer response:** 6 months with us, that's amazing! 🌸 Thank you so much for sharing this. We love hearing that Honey Grove is your go-to for unwinding. The flower collecting and character storylines are some of our favourite parts too. Here's to many more months in the Grove!

### 5/5 — Amazing Game!!

*2026-07-13*

Honestly one of the best games I’ve played in so long. The graphics and animation style is so so cute and the game is genuinely fun and interesting to play!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much, this really means a lot to us! 🌼 We're thrilled you're enjoying the art style and gameplay. Happy exploring!

### 5/5 — help！help！😭

*2026-07-11, version 0.2.68*

hello，I love this game a lot, but I’ve encountered a possible bug and hope you can check it for me, thank you.
I am currently Level 10 and have finished quests quickly, unlocking the recipe for Creamy Artichoke Soup. This dish requires 1 Turnip to craft.
However, the Turnip plant has not been unlocked in my plant collection. I’ve tried crafting seeds at the crafting table repeatedly, yet I still cannot unlock Turnip.
I have two questions to ask:

1. How can I unlock the Turnip plant?

2. Does the seed crafting table only produce seeds of plants I’ve already unlocked, or am I just unlucky to not get Turnip seeds?
Looking forward to your reply, I really love this game, thanks!

### 4/5 — Great game - some suggestions

*2026-07-08*

The game is great cozy beautiful. One thing i can suggest is the nurturing and harvesting mechanism. It would be nice to have it go through them automatically. Not one by one. Some times I just quit because it takes so much time to do each one by one. May be add a button like “harvest all” “ nurture all”.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words and the thoughtful feedback! 🌸 We completely understand how tapping through each plant one by one can feel tedious. A 'harvest all' or 'nurture all' button is a great idea, and we've noted it down. We're always looking at ways to improve the experience, so we appreciate you sharing this!

### 5/5 — Wonderful little game

*2026-07-02*

I really enjoy playing this! The art is beautiful, gameplay is fun.   One of my favourite mobile games at the moment!

The only thing I don’t like is gifting the neighbours, they take up soooo much resources for next no xp return and if you don’t click on them every time you use the map it’ll have annoying arrows and red dots. Like it’s pushing for it so hard for some reason and I wish it wasn’t like that. Having to win gifts for neighbours during hard events is also very frustrating. I wish we had more chance to win literally anything else!

Oh and is there any reason why when I zoom out in the garden the ambient sound gets super loud? (I have music turned off) it seems to be unaffected by volume sliders when that happens.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear that. If you were on a guest account, please try the Recover button on the main menu. If you still cannot access your game, contact support@runaway.zendesk.com with your User ID if you have it, and we can help you recover it.
