Bugborne
🪲 Welcome to Bugborne 🪲
Queen VESPARA has been ruling the garden realm for far too long. No one is safe from her tyranny. There's only one hope, we must work together. Rescue bugs and assemble your very own special task force for the rebellion, the EXO SQUAD. Embark on a grand quest through the garden realm and complete your assigned objectives, do everything in your power to rescue more bugs, defeat the enemy mindless drones of VESPARA, and save the younglings.
🕹️ Gameplay 🕹️
Use cards to play ACTIONS with your EXO SQUAD of bugs. Each bug will react differently to the cards so play around with different combinations.
Don't worry you can still undo your move and try something else.
Once your run out of cards that you wanted to use, progress to the next turn. You will not be able to undo this. The ENEMY bugs will make their move and the Larvae will walk towards the flag. See the top for the order of actions in the enemy turn.
Once the ENEMIES have made their move, it's your turn to continue the game!
Deckbuilding:
Bugborne, at its core, is a deckbuilding card game. Unlock new bugs and cards, gaining new bug abilities.
Level design:
Bugborne is level-based; each level is handcrafted with specific objectives, but also various ways of completing them. The hexagonal grid system allows the bugs to move through the levels in many clever ways.
Strategy:
Use that big brain of yours to find innovative ways of solving levels. With Bugborne's unique card system, cards can apply to multiple bugs, causing unique interactions. You can always undo your last move before you confirm the turn, so playing around is encouraged. There is no timer, so take all the time you need.
Recoup in the terrarium:
In between levels, you will have the chance to organise your team and prepare for the next level. Spend nectar on upgrades for your bugs and raise your LARVAE into new EXO SQUAD members.
Relax and cozy up:
A little for everyone, besides strategy and battle, Bugborne will offer customisation in the terrarium. This will hopefully include decorating, customising and dressing up your bugs

Didn't get a chance to play this at Expo, so played this at home! Super high level of polish here, the animations on the start screen were beautiful! Perhaps could have used a few more voicelines when bugs move as they got a little repetitive but overall a very well polished game that I see myself coming back to!
Thank you very much for the interview about your game. This game was very fun, and many wishes to you!
