What's New in Bug & Seek

2.1

July 13, 2026

**Bug catchers! I fixed an issue where starting a purchase and canceling resulted in the full game unlocking. Purchases are now verified through the AppStore. If you were a lucky winner of a long-term free trial, you may find that you are now limited to the demo area of the game. You can always choose "Restore Purchases" in the Main Menu > Get More Bugs to see if you own the full game. Thank you to those who alerted me and expressed their desire to support the project in this way!** New Features and Quality of Life (QoL) improvements! - Autosave feature implemented, saving your progress in the background as you play. - A simple on-screen timer lets you see how long you have to catch a bug (and gives a clue its rarity). - Interactive objects now reset at dawn & dusk. - No storage needed for clothing! All of your owned equipment is now visible in the Equipment menu. - Bonuses from equipment are now listed in the equipment menu. - Repeating quests with clothing rewards now grants coin rewards once clothing has been obtained. - Mastery levels, Karl's fee, and some rewards have been rebalanced. - There are now 216 total bugs to catch! - The Codex now gives you a total for the number of bugs you've discovered (i.e., 121 / 216). - A bug category icon has been added to the "New Species Discovered" pop up. - Fixed issues with decor replicating in the insectarium. - Fixed an issue where the heist end screen failed to continue dialogue. - Other (bad) bug fixes. - Improved performance, most notable on older devices. - Thank you for playing!!

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!

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.

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🙂‍↕️
