APICO

APICO combines resource gathering, biology, and minigames with ideas from both real-life and fantasy beekeeping and gardening, as it teaches players about the ins-and-outs of maintaining a healthy hive and the importance of our irreplaceable pollinating pals. The islands of APICO were once abuzz with different species of bees, and it’s up to players to rediscover lost species, cross-breed new ones, and repopulate each unique bee-ome. Progressing further into the game may also uncover some forgotten secrets. 

As well, a portion of the games’ profits goes toward bee conservation. Full details about these efforts can be found here: https://apico.buzz/savethebees.

ABOUT THE DEVELOPER

TNgineers

TNgineers are a small UK-based indie studio made up of two brothers, Ell and Jamie. Having formed the studio in 2020, the duo have  always wanted to make video games. A shift in Ell's working life as a result of the restrictions in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic meant he could actually make that dream a reality.


Ell works on the development and art for the games, while Jamie works on the design and writing. Their first game, APICO was released in 2022. For more information about TNgineers and their projects, visit: https://tngineers.com.
