A game like Cookie Clicker that actually ends: grow a hive in about 30 minutes
Honeyfold is a short idle game about a bee colony. Tap the hive for honey, hire seven kinds of workers, buy 19 upgrades and race to the Golden Comb. Unlike endless clickers it is tuned to finish in one sitting: in our pacing test a simulated player finishes in 30 to 36 minutes. Then a replay starts with +25% production per completion, so you can chase a faster time. Bees keep working while you are away (up to 8 hours). It runs in any browser, installs as an app and works offline.
