What players say
A fun and simple RTS that can be chewed through relatively cleanly, doubly so if you don't come from the school of bash your head against something until it begins to break. Impossible difficult gives enough of a challenge to make it take a good while but is a good time over all. I am excited to get to buggos 2 eventually but I am not sure how big of a change it will be between the two
A nice and fun swarm game with simple gameplay that's easy to pick up, but not too easy-especially in the later levels. The humor in the story is a very nice touch. :)
You can't reach Area 7 because of missle launcher dudes that are overpowered even on relaxed mode. It's not worth the money for pixel bugs that don't even follow your commands.
