A downloadable game

▶ Play free at buggs.io

buggs.io is a free multiplayer arena game where you play a bug. Eat to grow longer, cut the other bugs off, and fire power-ups from five loadout slots. No download and no account: a nickname is enough, on desktop or phone.

Why isn't it playable right here? Every match is live multiplayer on our own servers, so the game runs at buggs.io. One click and you're in.

How it works

  • You never stop moving. Steer, but there is no brake.
  • Eat grass, mushroom patches and whatever fallen bugs leave behind.
  • If your head touches another bug's body, you're out, and your mass becomes food for everyone else. Your own body is safe, so coil around rivals.
  • Boost nearly doubles your speed, but it burns your mass and drops it behind you as food.

Features

  • 33 real bug species, each with its Latin name, its own passive and bots that play the way that bug would.
  • 18 power-ups across five loadout slots (keys 1 to 5). Every 10th kill in a run refills one, up to five times.
  • Two maps: Meadow, and Haunted Hollow, a Halloween arena with pumpkins, gravestones, candles and mist that stays after the season.
  • Weather rolls in every five minutes: circles you want your head out of, with a power-up cache in the middle.
  • 198 skins and 25 trails, every one drawn from a data recipe rather than hand-made art.
  • Coins are optional. Charges, cooldowns and loadout slots are never sold.
