Hey Beekeepers! So as you've seen there were a few updates for the demo, this update is to catch you up on everything you've missed plus a LOT of gamepad related stuff! I basically finally sat down on a nice comfy sofa and played gamepad mode for a while, so there's a few QoL stuff I added because I wanted it, and then a bunch of fixes for a lot of the stuff that has been flakey for quite a while. This is probably one of the last few Beeta updates now... because we'll be moving it over to the final release build! Nothing much will change, it'll just sound more official and I'll feel like I've achieved something :'D

About Us
APICO is being created by two brothers, Elliott & Jamie, inspired by their love of old Minecraft mods, casual, and crafting games. They wanted to make something relaxing, intriguing, and semi-educational (just don't think about the Water Bees). Elliott builds nice things and Jamie makes sure he breaks them.
Save The Bees
Bees are integral to our gameplay, as they are to our real-world ecosystem. We want to promote bee conservation and will be donating a portion of sales towards national and international beekeeping charities.
