First off it leaves a beautiful nostalgic feeling overall. I may still be you but I remember playing this when I was 3 and it was great.

One of the BEST
     
by KingSalomon116 · August 15, 2019

I never write reviews. But this game deserves a review. I absolutely love this game! I’ve been a fan of this game for a super long time and it never gets old!

Legendary
     
by PGChristain · December 9, 2023

I was so addicted to this game in like 2014, so addicted. I had it on a really old iPod and since I wasn’t allowed to play video games I’d sneak onto this game every free min I had. I come back to it every few years for nostalgic purposes and still enjoy it!

Button mash

Great game but you have to mash on buttons to make them work. It’s annoying and gets you killed.

Please fix the crashing problem!! (iphone 7)
     
by Prince.Mult · December 24, 2019

This is a phenomenal game, I’ve been playing Bug Heroes for years and really appreciate this game. However, the game constantly crashes making it unplayable because my progress is never saved.

Best game in years (after its sequel)
     
by superdude japon · May 4, 2021

As entitled, this game is one of, if not the, greatest game in the history of mobile video games. It has got unlimited challenges and is just a lot of fun to play, solo or multiplayer. This necessarily needs a third version. Please keep on updating it, so that it works with newer IOS versions. And if possible, Please publish the third version of this game. You never know, maybe it will be its time to shine and it surely is worth it and will be a hit in the gaming market. P.S. just please update it regularly Best regards Written on 04.04.2021
