Collect, raise, and train your very own bugs! Rhino beetles, stag beetles, mantises, longhorns... gather a wild variety of insects and build the ultimate team in this idle RPG. Your bugs keep foraging even when the game is closed. - Idle collecting - Your bugs explore habitats on their own and take on stage bosses. Rewards pile up for up to 8 hours while you're away. - Every bug is one of a kind - No two bugs are the same - not even two rhino beetles. * Element (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) * Size - rolled on a normal distribution; bigger is stronger * Potential 1-5 stars - sets the enhancement cap * Temperament - how it behaves in a match * Male or female - a pair needs one of each - Matches that reward thinking - This isn't a plain stat race. * Three stances - Attack / Defend / Recover (Attack > Recover > Defend > Attack) * Energy management - no endless defending or recovering * An elemental advantage gives a 1.5x bonus * Team order IS the strategy - when a front bug empowers the one behind, the whole team grows stronger * Each field favors a different element In manual matches you read your opponent move by move - pure mind games. - Raise stronger champions - Match two fully grown bugs to get an egg, then hatch it in the incubator. A hatchling inherits its parents' size and potential, with a rare chance of a mutation. Crafting great bugs is the heart of the game. - Compete with other players - Face other players' defense teams asynchronously. Earn trophies, climb from Bronze to Diamond, and compete for rank each season. - Great for you if you... - * love insects * want an idle game with real depth of progression * want to win by team-building and order, not luck - Notes - * Most content is playable offline (ranking & versus need a connection) * Ads are opt-in rewarded ads only - never forced * Paid items focus on convenience and cosmetics; stats are never sold directly
