Hive Earth: Idle Invasion

Game premise and mechanics

Hive Earth: Idle Invasion is an idle incremental game that begins by asking for the name of a city, typically the one you're sitting in. If your city's not in the game’s archive, it selects the nearest one and informs you. The game represents a simulation of a hive spreading across 7,000 real cities, using real populations calculated by distance and yield instead of predetermined designs. The hive collects biomass in real time, both when the game is active and when it is closed, accumulating resources for up to one hour until you return.

Resource management

In this game, clicking does not directly increase your numbers but determines how the resources are allocated. You are encouraged to check on the game regularly throughout your day rather than leaving it running for extended periods. The aim is to manage the growth of the hive, deciding its direction and influence on the cities around you.
