I've been playing Hive Grove for a little under 2 months now. I haven't kept up with all the updates but the game is simple. You plant a tree, water it and earn HIVE or HP when you water your tree.
It also has a social aspect. You can help friends and those who have helped you water their trees. This lowers the cooldown timer so you can water (and get payout) more often.
When I started playing everyone got a free tree to start. I am not sure if they are still doing this as changes have been made recently. The new trees now expire after a certain amount of payouts/watering. This is a good thing long term and helps the game be more sustainable.
I was wondering how they could just continue to have the trees pay out indefinitely. This "decay" eliminates that question.
It's a passive game and I play it very passively. Sometimes I forget to check it daily.
I think it's a cute, fun game. I will also be tracking the amount I spend vs what I earn. Though posting about the game also earns me HIVE so I may be at the break even point just with this post in combo with my earnings. However my in game stats are as follows:
Total HIVE Spent -24
Total HIVE Earned- 4.75
I am currently earning about 0.17 HIVE per day. I just purchased a new tree yesterday. My earnings will slowly go up over time as the trees mature.
You get 4 free plots. I may purchase one more tree to put in the 4th plot and then wait until I am at break even before I buy more land or trees.
The trees are inexpensive. Right now the least expensive tree is 5 HIVE and the most expensive are 14. These prices are very reasonable.
