Bugaboo Pocket

bug

this game is insanely cute but also teaches you a bit about bugs! after playing it for the first time a year ago i'm wondering if it would be fun to keep isopods for real

i love the art and story its very cute edit i wish there would be more content and story its a cute game but for 20$ id hope thered be more to do more bugs to raise more story to discover

Overall a fun and sweet game, though I'm biased due to adoring all sorts of little critters. I found the story interesting and enjoyed the games and little friends you could take care of, the things you could collect. However the game is a bit short for the price seeing as its artificially longer by dead waiting periods. I'd say 100% worth on a sale though. Some complaints though: -Would appreciate the option to turn off the flashing for when bugs grow. -Minigames get repetitive and game drags in some parts. -Something more to do when bugs are sleeping. -Perhaps some speed up options?

Very fun and cute. This game changed my hate for bugs into love.

I'm gonna be honest, this game disappointed me a little. Unfortunately, the cute graphics do not make up for the slow and boring gameplay, and the minigames which ended up being more tedious than fun. For a game that's not an idle game, there's a lot of idle waiting time. While I get that the story is meaningful and emotional, due to the slow pacing of the game I couldn't get into the story, I just wanted to move on with it. I'm a bit iffy on how the bug personalities work as well, as they aren't random but just based on how you raise them. It also kinda feels like the personalities are just labels that don't really affect the bug's behaviour in any meaningful or interesting way. Also, the text was hard to read at times (when it didn't have an outline, just a font issue) and it was unskippable, which didn't make it any better. On one hand I do like how cute the bugs are (except for how they handled the spider's legs), but on the other I found the animation a bit uncanny at times. All in all, I feel like the game did not meet my expectations, and I personally do not recommend it.
