About this game
Welcome to Lots of Bugs!
Put down your problems and pick up a shell. No deadlines, no stress, just lots of bugs,
some questionable minigames, and one very legendary Pickle.
Time to explore!
Your Pickle Scout journal is ready, and there is a whole world waiting to be explored. There is so much to find, collect and discover as you follow in the footsteps of the legendary Pickle.
The beetle who saved the world and was never seen again.
Style your beetle!
Show the beetle world who you are. Customise your beetle, choose your style, and paint your own unique design directly onto your shell. Stand out, blend in, or just draw something silly on your back.
Because every beetle deserves to feel like themselves.
Play together
Lots of Bugs is a complete adventure on its own... but everything is better with more beetles. Grab a friend and explore together. Even Pickle had a team.
Find your thing
Lots of Bugs is full of things to do beyond exploring. Take part in silly minigames, play and create music, and uncover activities tucked away across the beetle world. The more you look, the more you find.
The beetle world is young, growing, and absolutely full of bugs. New areas, activities and secrets are on the way, and we cannot wait to share them with you.
Add it to your wishlist and come get your bug on!

The Lots of Bugs Playtest is Coming Soon!
🪲 We're getting close to opening up the first playtest for Lots of Bugs, and we'd like your help! 🪲 We are on the final steps of getting the playtest ready and we are excited... but nervous! What is the playtest? This is an early alpha. Not a demo. Not a polished preview. Things will be broken, ideas will be half-formed, and some features will be missing entirely. This is on purpose, we want to gather feedback throughout the process, not just right at the end. Basically, we want you to be involved! What we're looking for is honest feedback. What feels good, what doesn't, what's confusing, and what you wish was there. How to get involved: Sign up for the playtest directly on the store page and while you are waiting, join our discord to get updates Discord! If you haven't already, wishlist the game, it helps a lot!🪲❤️ Thanks for the support so far. It means a lot. Even to the bugs. 🪲❤️Read full article on Community Announcements (Lots of Bugs Dev)AnnouncementsOfficial
