Comments on Wild Hive - Build & Survive for Android
★★★★★Ronnie den Heijer· Sep 14, 2025
Love the game! I do have a bug when I put back to loaned bees in my hive they don't do anything anymore
★★★★★3pillows· Sep 2, 2025
I've only played a little bit so far, but I really enjoy it. It's just simple enough to pick up quickly, but not too simple that you get bored. I like the art style too of the game and the stock market esque selling system. The only problem I've had is the hitbox with the combs, they get really difficult to tap, whether it be to collect the honey or to upgrade them. It makes the combo system difficult, and a little stressful to pull off, but it's not gameplay destroying, just a minor problem.

So, it's a very fun game, however it could use more. I don't see the need to play on harder maps as base map is just fine, I don't see the need to play on anything harder. It would be better if there was a permanent upgrade system. Stuff like more bee health, more nectar collected, etc. Or even having base upgrade tokens and having a better upgrade system with those, like upgrading the overall percentage of the tokens, or an unlocking system for them.

Turning haptics on or off makes no difference, which is so annoying that I haven't bothered to spend more than a few minutes playing.

Would be great when you clicked on a tile that it'd collect the honey. Bloody tapping a tile for 5 minutes to then lose because you can't get the honey out of a tile. Fix your game.

I was having a lot of fun playing this game when I closed the app to take a break, I came back later to find I had a game over even though the app was closed, and I wasn't even playing it. To get a game over you have to fail to meet a requirement of money made selling honey, you have to do this within a "year" in the game, but that "year" was progressing even when I wasn't playing the game. 😓😕🙄

Broken. Bees just stopped making honey. Forced me to lose
