Bottled by Bears is a very cute looking idle collection game where you will find yourself running a family-owned farm, full of honey bees! Your looking to bottle and then sell your honey to locals, so that you can make more money to decorate your farm and expand your business. At first, you have a small beehive, but soon you will grow and have a few different areas for different types of bees.
In Bottled by Bears, you are collecting bees through trading card style pack opening, where you can find rare bees or bees that are higher levels then other bees. These bees then go into your collection, both in an album and in their appropriate hive where they will then work on collecting honey for you. You can then bring the honey to be processed into jars before moving the jars to your sale stand.
It’s a very cute game! I like that the collectable cards themselves aren’t looking to battle or the like, but instead are just there for your album collection. There are a lot of different adorable bee cards and a lot of little details that can be done to your farm to make it cute as well!
Bottled by Bears feels like a cute, cozy game management game where you are just filling up an album, creating small upgrades, and watching the bees move around your tiny flowers. I got to play Bottled by Bears at Pocket Gamer Connects Barcelona where there wasn’t any sort of micro-transactions, which really added to the vibes if I am honest! I quite enjoyed just dipping in and out of the gameplay.
This game aims to be out later this year, so you can wishlist it on Steam or play the demo yourself to see how you like it.
