tl:DR;

Build 42 becomes stable on July 29th (meaning it completely replaces B41 stable and requires new saves)

Hello r/pcgaming!

We are happy to share that our demo is finally out 💛

Bottled by Bears is a cozy management idle game about a family of bears running their honey farm, finding diverse bees, bottling honey, and decorating your farm. Total demo playtime should bee (heh) around 30min.

If you give the demo a try, let us know which bee was your favorite 🐝

If your game interest includes the old Galaga family of vertical, wave-clearing, screen-based arcade shootemups, you may want to check out the recent indie entry Nova Swarm on Steam. Gallery shooters are a small and little serviced niche, so it’s especially exciting for an old arcade player like me to see a tiny powerhouse like this really claim some space for itself. One of the game’s features is a dedicated developer who seriously soaks up feedback, and has been relentlessly upgrading the game, despite the $5 pricing, since release in early June (not early access, but be warned things can change from day to day). It’s definitely feeling due for some wider attention.

Another key aspect is a rather outlandishly off-kilter arcade-oriented personality, which I’ve found surprisingly charming. That kind of thing doesn’t normally play well for me, so maybe give it a chance before you turn voices off :) …
