A Game About Bees, Flowers and Vacuum

One valley. A million flowers. Not one of them is decoration.

Pull on the cream beekeeper suit, strap on the backpack tank and step out of the farmhouse. The first flowers come up to your waist and bend around you as you walk. Farther up the valley, they grow taller than you. Every one can be hit, every hit knocks petals loose, and every petal sells.

Fists, a knife, a bat and a vacuum

Each tool hits in its own shape. Your fists punch one flower at a time, in a run of hooks and uppercuts. The knife slashes across your view and catches several flowers at once. The bat sweeps across with a heavy hit that strikes the flowers beside it too.

Petals fly the way the blow goes, then flutter down and wait on the ground. The vacuum is one button away, whatever is in your hand. Hold it and the nearest petals tip up and stream into the nozzle, a plip for each, while the flowers in reach lean in toward it. Your tank fills in layers, one color for every band you worked.

Hundreds of bees, two buttons

Tap one button and a bee flies to wherever you are looking. Hold it and a stream of them follows your view, so one sweep spreads them across the flowers ahead. They hit the flowers themselves, pick up the petals and fly back to empty them into your tank.

Tap the other button to call one bee back, or hold it to call them all. There are no modes to switch: send and recall while you punch, slash or vacuum. The bees that aren't working circle around you, ready to go.

Every band is open from the start

Nothing in the valley is locked. Follow the path as far as you like: any tool can harvest any flower. The farther you go, the bigger the flowers grow, the more hits they take and the more each petal pays. Upgrades never unlock a flower. They just make the tough ones quicker.

Sell the tank, upgrade, head back out

At the workbench in the farmhouse workshop, one press sells the whole tank, each band's petals at its own price. The bottle drains while your dollars count up. Spend them on your tools, your vacuum, your tank and your own legs, or on the knife and the bat waiting on the bench. Your bees get their upgrades at the hives outside.

The valley remembers

Every flower keeps its damage between sessions, and a flower you harvest never grows back. Quit halfway through a band and every petal you knocked loose will be lying where it fell when you return, even the ones still in the air when you left.
