About

Inspired by Cult of the Lamb, Overcooked, Hades, and Apico, Honey is Mead is a game about codependency, worship, and slinging mead for divine vibes.

You are Meli, an acolyte of the god of mead and merriment, and you have committed a most heretical party foul. Time to win back your god's party favor!

Honey is Mead is an entry for Summer Slow Jams 2024: Resource Management.

Fulfill party guest requests ๐Ÿ•บ

Make sure everyone is having a most excellent time, and they might just pass you a few vibes cheques.


Give your bees vibe cheques ๐Ÿ

Sacrifice vibe cheques at the shrine of bees in exchange for honey. Then it's time to make some radical mead.

Raise the merriment meter ๐ŸŽ‰

The more pleased your party guests, the better the party (and your chances of winning back your god's party favor).

Offer mead to your god ๐Ÿบ

Can you throw a rager wild enough to satisfy Mjodr, the god of mead and merriment? Or will they hold your party foul over your head for the rest of time?

Incredible! I only got an "A" ranking but had a great time. Loved the art and our overworked mouse acolyte. Definitely gave overcooked vibes with all the running around and increasing chaos with all the different orders.

super super awesome work, i managed to beat the game with S ranking :D


i wish i could have spent my honey bucks to get more slots to make more mead/honey cake at the same time!
