The value story

16 discounts in the 2 years on record, a median of 30 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 10 days ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 4 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 89 percent of its genre. Cornerpond ($2.99, scores 96) outscores it, and so does Plantera 2: Golden Acorn ($1.84, scores 91). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

I enjoy this game its nice relaxing great for a stressful day where you don't wnat to think to hard. but there are some cons the RNG for the golden bees at 0.35% for a single pack is way to low Having to open 3k packs is a alot and seems just to drive up playtime.

Cozy collection game revolving around little bees. There's a couple ways you can play, either by manually feeding your bees and petting them or just letting the game idle in the background (or closed) to earn a maximum of 12hrs worth of currency. I did a combination of both. There's some pretty cute accessories you can use to dress up your bees and stickers for your hive if you're into decorating them. Stickers...
