Publisher's description of Bugdom Demo 1.14

From Ideas From the Deep:

The Bugdom was once a peaceful place ruled by the Rollie Pollies and the Lady Bugs, but not long ago the Bugdom was overthrown by the clan of the Fire Ants. After recruiting other bugs to help fight for them, they captured all of the Lady Bugs and are holding them prisoner. The leader of the Fire Ants, the new king of the Bugdom, is King Thorax. Once he is defeated, the Bugdom will return to the peaceful place it used to be. You are Rollie McFly, the only remaining bug capable of saving the Lady Bugs and restoring peace to the Bugdom. Rollie has been hiding in the Lawn area of the Bugdom and will need to travel far to get to the Ant Hill where the battle with King Thorax must take place. There will be water to cross, bugs to ride, and plenty of enemy forces to defeat, but once the Fire Ants and King Thorax have been defeated, you will become the new ruler of the Bugdom and peace will be restored.

• "Buggin' out"

The trial version and feature set could be more generous, but Bugdom nonetheless strikes us as an entertaining pickup. In this game, you play a fly that inhabits the world beneath the grass and flowers. Your eventual goal is to rescue the ladybugs form their cages, and along the way you pick up fruit to restore your health, clovers to increase your score, and keys to unlock doors. Of course, you'll face plenty of enemies along the way including slugs, vicious army ants, and wasps. You can defend yourself by kicking them, or you can roll into a ball (a la Sonic the Hedgehog) and slam into them. We like the game's colorful, humorous, and well-designed 3D graphics, and the way the camera tracks the fly around the board adds a nice touch. The one thing we wished for was a map for easier navigating the leafy maze and tracking the movements of the foe insects. Bugdom doesn't offer a large feature set. The most notable customization options let you activate Easy mode and save your game, but you can't even disable the soundtrack. Also, the demo only lets you play on a couple of levels, but that should be enough to give you an idea of whether this game is worth buying. Though children will be Bugdom's most enthusiastic audience, older players are likely to find something of merit as well.
