Great game! really goofy and chill tower defense with ridiculous mechanics and a cool first person mode in all of the available weapons. There are multiple endings and some good replay value. The time I have now was how long it took me to reach one ending ~5 hours. The game is well worth the full price, and is currently on a great sale.

Its a BTD where you defend yourself against wasps. You can also control the bees yourself if you don't wanna watch your towers and bees do everything. As i was beating this game the devs randomly updated it, kinda cool.

This game has the perfect amount of base building and resource management. Not so much that you feel you have to get whiplash checking every single value every 10 seconds but not so little that you feel there is no urgency. The tech tree evolution is hilarious but I really wish there wasnt such a heavy restriction to how much you could build.

Fun little game that doesn't demand a lot of time from you. Graphics are great and the bee aesthetic is unique. I only wish the game was bigger and had more replayability. It would be good if there was a serious benefit to taking manual control of turrets like a 2x damage boost to make it worth it over the auto-aim, it just feels like a waste of effort otherwise.

Bee Island: A Quick Review by me Good Points: 1.Unique Concept: "Bee Island" stands out with its innovative blend of strategy and simulation, where you manage a colony of bees and defend against enemies. The originality of the gameplay makes it a refreshing change from typical strategy games. 2.Beautiful Graphics: The game boasts vibrant and charming visuals. The design of the bees, the island, and the environment is visually appealing, making the game a pleasure to look at while you play. 3.Engaging Gameplay: The game combines resource management, strategy, and defense elements effectively. Balancing the growth of your bee colony while defending against threats keeps the gameplay dynamic and engaging. 4-Replay Value: With various strategies to explore and different challenges to face, "Bee Island" offers a high replay value. Each playthrough can be a unique experience based on your choices and strategies. Bad Points: 1.Steep Learning Curve: Some players may find the game challenging to grasp initially. The complexity of managing resources and planning defenses could be overwhelming for beginners. 2.Limited Customization: While the game is visually appealing, there may be a lack of customization options for those who enjoy personalizing their gameplay experience. More variety in bee types, structures, or island designs could enhance the experience. 3.Potential for Repetition: Although the game has high replay value, some players might find the core gameplay loop repetitive over extended periods. More varied missions or additional gameplay mechanics could help maintain long-term interest. Conclusion: Despite some minor drawbacks, "Bee Island" is a delightful and engaging game that offers a unique twist on strategy and simulation. Its charming graphics and dynamic gameplay make it an excellent choice for players looking to manage their own bee colony and defend against threats. This game is perfect to just have fun.
