Today, iconic interactive entertainment producer Atari is buzzing with excitement to announce that the long-loved and massively cute match-3 puzzle game, Tumblebugs, is now available on Steam in an un-bee-lievable full HD remaster.
In Tumblebugs, you’ll take on the honorable “Guardian Bug” role as Tumble, a protective and all-around lovable friend just doing their best to see to it that their eight-legged friends live to see another day. By launching multiple colored bugs from your back with precise timing and expert precision, you’ll keep your buggy buddies from falling into the Black Bug Empire’s underground lair. But, you must act fast — with an eye (or a few) on the clock, you’ll need to save them all before you run out of time!
Upon its initial launch in 2005, Tumblebugs was a best-selling commercial smash hit. Sporting updated graphics and all 78 backyard-themed levels, Tumblebugs’ popularity is attributed to its highly-engaging gameplay disguised behind a disarmingly cute backyard-bug landscape. Between Windows, Mac, iOS, and the Nintendo Wii, as well as a free-to-play Flash version, Tumblebugs racked up more than 35 million play sessions over four years.
Key Features of Tumblebugs:
- Fast-paced and fluid, simple-yet-engaging physics-based gameplay makes for a puzzler that’s difficult to scurry away from
- Save all of your bug besties from captivity across a series of backyard levels in Story Mode
- Use special powers to crank the beetle blitz up to an 11 with perks like Rewind Bugs, Ballistic Bugs, and ‘Stop!”
- Special Bugs are anything but creepy and crawly — choose from Wild Bug, Star Bug, Blossom Bug, and Color Burst
- Unlock timed trials and replay your favorite levels to set new best times and challenge yourself over and over with increasing difficulty. Now that’s what we call metamorphosis!
Developed by Wildfire Studios and published by Atari, Tumblebugs is now available on Steam for $19.99. Learn more and see what the buzz is about at the official site: https://wildfire.com.au/.
