Clearing every station is such a great puzzle to overcome and complete, I love how in depth this game is compared to the kingdom games.

Hive and Seek is a tense and rewarding mix of strategy and roguelike exploration. Clearing out monster-infested stations room by room feels exciting, and the base-building mechanics keep every run fresh. Atmospheric, replayable, and surprisingly addictive—definitely worth picking up!

Tower defence resource management puzzle. Work out the balance between defence and resource-gathering, complicated by different paths and tricky choices on later levels. One annoying bug, but nothing game-breaking. No save either, which is murder on the last level. Just 5 levels atm but the last one will keep you busy for a while. Well worth a try at < £5

I wanted to like this game. It is right up my alley as Tower Defense, 2D, and similar to the Kingdom series games. But this game is very tedious; it is a micro-managing hell. It would have made sense if this came out before, not after Kingdom, since it is so far behind in quality of game design. - Too many different buildings are complicating base progression in uninspiring ways - Base expands too far in all directions. - Bots have no Intelligence; everything has to be done manually across an expanding map. - Game forces you to expand into both directions, but bots idle after a single, smallest task if they are on the other side of the map until you go grab them. It's ridiculous. - Good music, please? - No sense of exploration

Buggy game but good idea. Units bypass defense for no reason. If your building is blown up you cannot make units at it anymore. Maybe they will patch it some day but for now it is frustrating.
