SlingBug Lite
Read full descriptionHide full description
SlingBug is a single player, deck-building puzzle game where you play as a sling-shot shaped stag beetle commanding an army of native Australian insects against an incursion of invasive species. The core game-loop involves sling-shotting your ally bugs at rows of descending enemies, earning coins for each one taken down. These coins can be spent recruiting new bugs, hats with special abilities and mighty shields to protect you from the approaching hordes!
