BUGS is a fast-paced, neon-fueled 3D arcade shooter inspired by 1980s classic cabinet games. Blast through relentless centipedes, chaotic spiders, and mushroom-dropping fleas in a glowing retro voxel arena designed for both desktop and mobile play.

Key Features

  • Classic Arcade Gameplay: Combat multi-segmented centipedes that split into dynamic head sections as you shoot them apart.
  • Dynamic Bug Hazards: Eliminate high-value Spiders darting across your movement zone and Fleas dropping mushroom grids from above.
  • Vibrant Voxel Visuals: Built with WebGL/Three.js, featuring dynamic glowing lighting, squelchy goo effects, particle death explosions, and retro fog aesthetics.
  • Adaptive Retro Audio: Features a synthesized 80s arcade soundtrack with a dynamic tempo that speeds up as centipede speeds increase.
  • Leaderboard System: Earn your spot on the 3D in-game All-Time and Weekly High Score boards with classic 3-initial arcade tag entry.
  • Cross-Platform Controls: Play smoothly with full support for keyboard/mouse or touch-screen devices using the virtual joystick and fire controls.

Controls

Input Device Movement Action
Keyboard / Mouse W/A/S/D, Arrow Keys, or Mouse movement Spacebar (Shoot)

Pro Tips for High Scores

  • Clear Firing Lanes: Target strategic mushrooms early to force descending centipedes into predictable choke points.
  • Hunt the Spider: Ambush spiders inside your bottom movement zone for a massive 600-point boost.
  • Keep the Zone Clean: Keep mushroom density in the lower screen low—otherwise, incoming Fleas will corner you quickly.
