![]() I never could quite get adept at slowing him down well enough to do things right the first time around, and I gave it a lot of practice. I had a lot of difficulty controlling Skip. I felt like I was in Bug Hell and found myself looking for a can of Raid just to end it all. I've played many of these tilt-a-games, and I just grew insanely bored with Bugdom. However, (and I'm prepared to dodge your stingers), I just couldn't get into the game. Pangea really outdid themselves in this game port from the Macintosh platform. You'll be immersed for the first several moments by the stunning color and animation of the game. Holding down the button while near an object allows Skip to pick it up. While paused, you can swipe the screen, and your bug will "kick" an acorn which pops open into a little plant which your bug can then eat for energy. Tapping the screen enables your bug leap, and holding down a finger in the bottom left corner enables your bug to pause and catch his breath. A more pronounced tilt adds more speed to your character's movement. There are relatively few controls to master. You'll also receive a popup notice from Pangea which informs you that if the app should crash, they recommend a hard reset of the iPhone by holding down the power and home button for 10 seconds. I initially had some problems with the game crashing, but upon deleting it and reinstalling, the problems had gone. Additionally, the same Buddy Bugs that helped Rollie McFly defeat King Thorax will help you defeat most mean enemy bugs that you encounter.īugdom 2's gameplay is smooth and the audio is simply enchanting. Sam will usually make you prove your worthiness before he will help you, but Sally is just interested in gathering acorns, so be sure to brings lots of those to her. Keep an eye out for Sam the Snail and Sally the Chipmunk. You will make new friends in the Bugdom who will help you through each area. The chase takes place mostly in and around a house. Your job as Skip is to track down the Bully Bee and get your knapsack back. While on his way to visit his family on the far side of the Bugdom, a Bully Bee swooped down and stole Skip’s knapsack. The storyline from the Pangea website tells you: The game starts with little-to-no tutorial, which is vastly different from most similar games on the iPhone. Along the way, you'll be making friends, kicking nuts and taking names. Bugdom2 is a great 3D platform game for the iPhone and it might take awhile before we see another great game as this.The popular video game comes to the iPhone with hardly any loss of graphics or sound! You are a bug trying to make it in life without being squashed, exterminated or canned. Never mind if the idea of playing a bug sounds weird to you. ![]() It currently sells for $.99 at the apps store so it definitely is a worthy purchase. Like Nanosaur 2, I highly recommend Bugdom2 as a worthy download for your iPhone. ![]() Overall, Bugdom 2 performs well in the sound department as well. Even the various sound effects as when the main character kicks the foot of the human adversaries to the sound of the water flowing on streams. It’s lively and suits the mood of the game well. SoundĪnother great feature of Bugdom 2 is the background and game sound. It’s like playing an adventure game in a PSP or DS Lite. The character move fluidly and you wouldn’t really notice that you are playing a mobile phone game. The graphics engine is also fast and seldom will you encounter any slowdown. The main character though is a bit small although it suits him well since he was supposed to be a tiny bug. ![]() Like Nanosaur 2, Bugdom 2 features a solid game environment with so many interactive elements and the game levels are well conceptualized and designed distinctly from each other. This is where Pangea’s game application really excels. Overall, Bugdom 2 offers a great gameplay worthy of the small price you have to pay to have it installed on your iPhone. But you can always play it again to get all the stuff you need to get and collect. Just enough to make you finish it in a couple of hours. Like any other iPhone game, Bugdom2 is pretty short. Tapping on the iPhone screen twice will make him fly - he’s a bug so he can definitely fly, right? ![]() In addition, tapping on the iPhone screen will make your character jump. Instead, you use the iPhone’s accelerometer to move your character forward, left to right, and backwards. The only difference is the fact that you’re playing the game on the small screen of the iPhone and you’re not using any game controllers to play it. It’s pretty much your traditional adventure platform game from a traditional console device. From crossing mini-rivers, flying through platforms, kicking some human foot, picking up fruits and many more. First, the basics - you assume the role of a bug task to do many tasks. Let’s get straight to the meat of the app and discuss its gameplay. ![]()
