Bears in Jars, a cozy idle collection game developed by Monoii Studio, has officially launched on Steam. It is priced at 32 RMB, with a 25% launch discount. The game supports PC, Steam Deck, and Mac, and includes multiple languages such as Simplified Chinese.
In the game, players help the Pawford bear family run a honey farm. By opening card packs, they can obtain Common, Rare, Shiny, and Hex variant bees. The rarity of the bees affects the quality and selling price of the honey. Revenue from selling honey can be used to purchase more card packs and upgrade facilities.
The flowers grown on the farm are determined by the bees the player owns, and different flower combinations provide various bonuses to honey production. Flowers continue to bloom and wilt while the player is offline, and the farm's landscape changes as the hive lineup evolves. Management tasks include upgrading hives and sales stalls, serving customers, fulfilling larger orders, and adjusting bee combinations, flower pairings, and bottling lines.
The full release adds new hives, honey orders, and card packs, along with over 100 decorative items. Players can also adjust the shape and position of their flower fields. Bears in Jars is the debut title from this independent developer based in Barcelona, Spain, which previously won an indie game award at a local event.
