About

Nectar

Read full description

Fly a bee through a forest that glows. Nectar is a one-thumb flight racer. Steer with one half of the screen, hold the other to boost, and thread your bee through ring after glowing ring before the clock runs out. Time a boost perfectly and you tear through the next gate in a streak of gold. Then take it to the arena, where another bee wants the same honeypot you do. FLY WITH ONE THUMB Steer with one thumb, hold to boost. That is the whole control scheme. Flip the axis, swap the sides for left-handed play, or tune the stick sensitivity in Settings. RACE THE FOREST Chase checkpoint rings through a glowing night forest, over waterfalls and down into caves. Collect honey coins, bank XP, and push into sections nobody in your hive has reached yet. DODGE WHAT BITES Snapping plants lunge from the undergrowth. Lizards hunt in packs. Fly clean, or fly hurt. COLLECT 40 BEES Nine common, fourteen rare, ten legendary, seven mythic. Every bee flies differently, with its own Size, Speed, Boost, Agility, Honey and Instinct. Find the one that suits how you fly. LEVEL UP YOUR HIVE Collect a bee's cards to unlock it, then keep collecting to raise it to level 5. Every level is a real change in the air, not a number on a card. DUEL 1V1 FOR THE HONEYPOT Take on another pilot's bee in Classic Arena, or survive Lizard Arena while the boundary closes in around you. Win to climb the season. EARN EVERY DAY A free pack every six hours. Nine daily missions. A fourteen-day login ladder. Ten season tiers to climb, and twenty lifetime achievements to chase. Nectar plays offline. Your hive is yours. --- NECTAR VIP (optional subscription) VIP unlocks the premium season reward track, lets you start from any section you have already unlocked, gives you one free extra revive in every run, and adds a second free pack every six hours. - Monthly: $4.99 per month - Yearly: $49.99 per year (save 20%) Prices are in US dollars and may vary by region; the price shown in the app is the price you pay.
