About This Game

  • Go on a whimsical adventure with unique gameplay that incorporates strategy and puzzles.
  • Use pheromone trails to command followers to gather resources and overcome obstacles.
  • Explore a miniature 3D world of colorful flora and fauna.
  • Immerse yourself in a one-of-a-kind story about life among bugs.



Lead tiny heroes on a journey to find a lost child. Along the way you’ll meet a cast of "humbug" friends, including the matronly spider-keeper Caecilia and her aquatic siblings Wart and Noot. But beware: the sky above is home to the insect world’s fearsome matriach, the Mother Wasp. Beneath her hungry eye, Eacus must face sinister thief ants, deadly cordyceps fungus, and cultish “Waspling” humbugs.



Command your bugs through a variety of lush wetland biomes. Form chains of ants into bridges to cross watery chasms, or use your ants’ combined strength to manipulate the environment and operate makeshift humbug machinery. Together you can overcome obstacles, solve puzzles, and discover new areas to explore.



Expand your reach and harvest resources to amass more followers. Draw pheromone trails to new food sources and your bugs will follow them continuously to feed the ever-hungry Queen. Build your colony with 4 unique ant castes: industrious Workers, powerful Soldiers, winged Alates, and heavyweight Repletes.



Rally the swarm and take on the megafauna of the insect kingdom. Use your wits and courage to outmaneuver fierce predators and enemy Wasplings. With your help, Eacus and his six-legged friends just might succeed!
