Multi-playerCo-opOnline Co-op
Cozy co-op sim from Akuseru Studio. Terraform floating islands, crossbreed bees for new traits, grow crops, and send healing honey back down to Earth — solo or with up to 3 friends splitting harvesting, building, and delivery runs. No timers, no threat, just a shared to-do list and a very good view. Released July 28, 2026; reception is Mixed so far, but the co-op loop itself is exactly the low-stakes 'background game' slot this list is usually missing.

Earth is dying from disease, famine and ruin. One of the few resources still helping people survive is honey from the floating islands.
You travel to the sky world to build a beekeeping farm, raise bees and establish honey shipments back down to Earth. Other beekeepers were sent there before you, but none of them ever returned. The more islands you discover, the closer you get to the answer to the main question: what happened to those who came before you?
🐝 Bees and Hybrids
Raise bees, care for hives and collect honey. Each type of bee has its own unique traits. Crossbreed different species to create hybrids with new properties. Over time, bees will become an important part of your farm and help automate part of the work at the apiary.
🍯🏠 Building
Create your own island: expand the territory, place hives, set up crop fields and build your apiary the way you want. Build a farm, a small house with hives or a large apiary that gradually grows together with your settlement.
🌼 Gardening
Grow flowers for the bees, as well as vegetables, fruits and other plants for yourself. Some crops will help attract the right types of bees and affect the quality of the honey, while others will be useful for cooking, crafting and everyday life on the island. Choose plants that suit your apiary and gradually expand your farm with new crops.
🐝🏍️ Medocycle
The Medocycle is a unique vehicle for traveling between islands. With it you can explore new islands, find rare locations and quickly return to your apiary. Upgrade the Medocycle to reach places that were previously inaccessible.
🌤️ World Exploration
Travel between islands with different biomes, plants, resources and bee species. Each new island may offer something useful for your apiary: a rare bee, a needed material or a new crop to grow. As you explore the islands, you will uncover traces of the beekeepers who came before you and gradually learn what happened to them.
👥 Multiplayer
Play solo or with friends: develop the apiary, grow plants, build and explore islands in a shared world. Divide up tasks or do everything together - one person cares for the bees, another shapes the island, and a third heads out to find new islands and bee species.
