## What is The Bugs?

The Bugs is a new look at the genre as tower defense. It's a colorful action game with a top view of the small meadow in the grass, mire or sand, which is gradually overgrown with harmful and dangerous flowers, mushrooms or thorns.

Let the bugs eat and clean up their meadow. To do this, move the arriving bugs to the plants, surround and destroy them. Manage to pull the bugs away from the exploding plants in time or drag them to the healing plants. Level up the bugs by eating plants to increase the speed, health and bite strength of the bugs.

When the maximum level bugs die, they leave boosters on the meadow to help other bugs. Some boosters can even destroy all the plants on the meadow at once!

Collect gold coins from golden mushrooms to come in handy for you to continue playing and saving bugs' meadow when it's completely overgrown. Be prepared for the plants to grow faster and faster every minute. Survive as long as possible and you will feel the real action on the screen of your smartphone.
