Welcome to Pixel Hive, a puzzle game where swarms of busy bees take apart colorful 3D pixel sculptures, one block at a time. Every level starts with a finished sculpture floating above your hives: a juicy watermelon, a desert pyramid, and many more. Your job is to pick the right hive and release its bees. Each hive holds a swarm of one color, and its bees fly out to harvest only the blocks that match. As the blocks disappear, the sculpture melts away until nothing is left. But there's a catch. A hive whose bees still have blocks to collect flies back and parks in a waiting slot. Slots are limited. Fill them all and the level is over. Success means reading the sculpture, choosing hives in the right order, and keeping the swarm moving without clogging the hive. Rotate the sculpture to spot hidden colors, plan ahead with the hives coming up in your queue, and use power-ups like the magnet, the fan, and the freeze ray when the pressure builds. As you progress, sculptures grow bigger, colors multiply, and every choice matters more. Features - Send colored bee swarms to harvest matching pixel blocks - Take apart beautiful 3D pixel sculptures piece by piece - Manage limited waiting slots before the hive fills up - Rotate sculptures to find the colors you need - Plan around a queue of upcoming hives - Powerful boosters: magnet, fan, extra slot, and freeze - Simple one-tap controls with real puzzle depth - Hundreds of levels with growing size and color variety - Relaxing visuals and satisfying block-by-block clearing Pick your hives, manage the swarm, and clear every pixel in Pixel Hive.
