## Bug & Seek Description
Catch 200+ real life bugs in this peaceful creature collector. You’ve bought the local insectarium (bug zoo) in the cozy town of Buggburg, so start swinging your net to build your dream bug collection and create the best insectarium Buggburg has ever seen.

Developed by a tiny, two-person dev team, Bug & Seek is a relaxing bug-catching game with a mystery twist and pixel art bugs.

You've just bought an abandoned Insectarium (bug zoo)—congratulations! Now, go catch real-life bugs, build your collection, and level up your skills. Bug & Seek features a very simple and peaceful gameplay loop, no stress, and no wrong choices. So relax and enjoy all those bugs (and learn about them too)!

* Discover 200+ adorable and real insects
* Customize and Expand Your Insectarium
* Explore The World
* Meet the Locals 
* Solve the Mystery

What to Expect: 
* Simple Game Mechanics — Explore, shake objects to reveal hiding bugs, and swing your net. Bug & Seek was meant to be easy, peaceful, and stress-free. A leveling system increases the rarity of bugs you can catch, and some special items boost your chances too.
* A Bug-Based Economy — To earn money, you will have to sell bugs at the stores and for jobs and quests. But don't worry, you will be able to catch more!
* Cozy, Humorous Vibes —  The cute little town of Buggburg to explore, lots of goofy and bug-obsessed NPC's, bugs with personalities and jokes, and a fun mystery about someone stealing a bunch of bugs.
* Light Customization — There are a handful of adorable new decoration sets, and even a few new clothing items you can acquire. 
* Real Facts and Information — Every bug in the game is a real bug, and you'll learn things like why bugs are so important to biodiversity and environmental health.

What Bug & Seek DOES NOT have: 
* Challenging gameplay; the gameplay loop in Bug & Seek is very simple.
* Mini games; if you swing your net at a bug, you will catch it.
* Energy meters or sleep requirements; after all, you can only catch certain bugs at night.
* Multiplayer options;
* Combat; while bugs in real life do attack and eat other bugs, they don't in Bug & Seek, and you won't fight NPC's with your bugs. The bugs also do not carry swords or wear medieval armor, as fun as that might sound.
* Romance; while you can talk to NPC's, and do jobs for them involving catching bugs, you cannot romance them, nor can you romance the bugs, regardless of the superpowers that might give to your offspring.

## Bug & Seek Reviews in United States

### ***-- "Loved it until…"
My kid accidentally started a new game over the one she spent a long time on. Having only one save while being so easy for small children to accidentally ruin their save file is not great, I’m afraid. She won’t play anymore and this was her favorite game until then. What’s worse is even when you pay for the game, you still get the “this is a free version” screen, so she tapped the screen a bunch trying to skip it, which led to her starting a new game and losing hers. Wicked bummer. An otherwise fun game for kids.

### ***** "Wish controllers worked"
Cant use controllers. Love the game but seriously hope future updates to include some form of controller accessibility. You cant move the character. and i hate playing games with my thumbs on the screen and i like having my hands under a blanket while I play games i cant do that in this one. I know first world problems, but makes me really sad cause i love bugs, and this is all the coziness of animal crossing without the extensive neverending chores. Plop in and plop out.

Im still gonna play it but please add accessibility for controllers so i dont have big circles invading the screen.

### ***** "sad day.."
It’s an absolutely great game, but when I attempt to buy DLC it says I already have it (I don’t). :( But, with the limited gameplay I can do, it is truly a nice game!
-- mister lala, 2026-06-28

### ***** "So Much Joy"
I can hardly express with words how much joy this game brings me. The thought, the humor, the colors, the characters, the scenery. It’s so beautiful. It manages to bring me peace throughout my day. So, so worth the full game. So worth it. Every single pixel makes this game a masterpiece. Thank you so much devs!! This is all I ever dreamed of and more!

### ****- "Pretty good"
I loved the game and the old timer graphics but my 
insectarium is fully maxed but I still don’t have any room for my bugs. But it is still a great game with the quests and story lines. I would definitely recommend it.
-- Ben.org, 2026-04-24

### ***** "🪲🙂‍↕️"
Best bug game! It’s clear there is a lot of love put into it. I got stupid excited upon seeing the silhouette of a pseudo scorpion, and a FAQ just for the red velvet ant is so funny! I wish it was a bit more involved, like having bug traps and maybe a bug version of a stardew valley community center thing (maybe there is but I’m living that broke college student life and can’t get the full version yet lol). Regardless, very worth playing🙂‍↕️
-- Echinoids, 2026-04-12

### ***** "Awesome"
I love bugs! And I love this this game too! 10/10
-- GreenJay54, 2026-03-13

### ****- "Bugs!!!"
I love bugs and this game! But for some reason it has me restart when i close out of it but others it’s fun!
-- 14monkey2, 2026-01-20

### ****- "Bugs disappeared"
Love this game super charming and relaxing! 

I am writing to mention that I recently lost about 20 habitats with all the bugs within as it turned from winter to spring for the first time. The 4 bugs that remained had no distinctive pattern to explain why they remained. Hope this doesn’t happen once more. Thanks!
-- GEL_099, 2026-01-19

### ****- "Absolutely amazing"
You have no idea how excited I was to bee the blue death beetle (and many more of my favorite bugs) because only a couple days before this post I drew a blue death beetle for the first time!!
