Beekeeper

UI is wonky and the translations need work, charming game, has promise. Hope the developer finds some time to put into this. Worth the few bucks but fades fast with the current limited mechanics and buggy UI.

It's a great fame but there are still several glitches in the programming. There is one in the Flower planting screen that locks it up when you are in the tutorial so that you can't go any further than the second part of the game. Once you plant a flower it won't release the character to continue. The player has to close the game and not plant any flowers which makes it impossible for the bees to make any honey. Getting this glitch out might make for a better adventure.

Gosh, I really wanted to love this game. I really, really did. It seems really cute and the music is great and it's about bees! However, this game, as it is right now, is not ready to be released even for early access. The interface is extremely frustrating. A lot of the keybinds are not intuitive and they cannot be adjusted. A few keys are explained in the tutorial, but not enough. And speaking of the tutorial--it really does not teach you enough. I was left flailing a bit, unsure of what to do or what my goal really was. Regarding the beginning creation...it's very lackluster. Given that it's an early-access game, I could forgive this, but a few things in particular irked me. First, there are 3 skin tones, two of which are very light-toned which almost look the exact same, and then a single black skin tone. I hope that there will be some more expansion to this, or at least make the middle tone not so close to the first white skin tone. The same goes for the hair. I originally wanted to play as a girl, but there are no good hair options for a girl character. You are also forced to have a mustache to complete the character creation, for whatever reason? Which also discouraged me from playing as a girl. You also cannot go back to edit these things once you have left the creation (but before beginning the game) which was frustrating. This feels really nit-picky, yes, but it quite irked me to have these options teased without any real way of achieving them. However, the most egregious problem that makes the game unplayable for me is the..menu drift, I guess it can be called? I didn't see it mentioned in any of the other reviews, but given that there have been no other reviews since the new update, I'm guessing this has something to do with said update. But every time I opened my little beehive menu, the main menu that would be in the center of the circle (where you would collect honey, heal bees, etc) kept drifting slightly to the left with every opening. Until, finally, it was off the screen completely. I tried saving, exiting, shutting down the game and reopening it, but that part of the menu was gone, rendering it absolutely unplayable in only half an hour of play time. Needless to say, this is not at all worth the $5 it's labeled as. I was really hoping it would, but the confusing game play, bad interface, and breaking bugs do not outweigh the cute graphics, nice music, and good idea for the game. I hope that future updates will fix these things so I can update my review as the game improves.

The game seems to be quite dead in terms of developpement, sadly. nontherless, it still is very cool to play it

Can't get past the beginning screen where you make your character and logo to play, i confirm my character several times but the game doesn't say i did it.

Abandoned, buyer beware.

A very thin skin of beekeeping on an otherwise-generic game. When I learned that Steam offers refunds, I asked for one on this (31 minutes played), but it turns out refunds need to be asked for within 14 days. (This review is based on experience with the game in September or October 2020. I hope its quality improves by the time they end Early Access, but the list of planned improvements seems rather sparse.)

Game is hardly in playable state. Many unfinished things, including untranslated stuff. Will try again in half a year or so.
