Hey everyone!

The Buddy Bug Demo is officially here, and it will also be featured in tomorrow's Steam Animal Fest! Thank you all so much for your ongoing attention and support. We bet you can't wait to become a little beetle and dive into this thrilling adventure set in the insect world!

(A quick note: The game is still in the demo stage, so you might run into some bugs or design quirks — we appreciate your understanding! And feel free to share your feedback with us. Also, all in-game English text is currently poorly translated; we’ll be working with professional translators to polish it up in the future.)

What’s in this demo?

  1. This trial version is based on Chapter 1, but also includes some maps and enemies from Chapters 2 & 3 (clear time under 1 hour). The boss is an intimidating octopus — make sure you’re well-prepared before taking it on!

  2. Includes 4 weapons and 15 items — all inspired by everyday objects you’d find around you! Combine them with elemental reaction mechanics and see what exciting effects you can create.

  3. Features 100+ Knowledge effects and 10+ Specialization choices. Collect relevant Knowledge to unlock different Specialization abilities — will you become a Turret Commander, a Fitness Pro, or put on an explosive show?

  4. Supports 2-player local co-op — grab a friend, family member, or your special someone and play together! Online multiplayer is already in the works — stay tuned! (Currently supports Steam Remote Play Together.)

  5. Fully supports controller, mouse & keyboard, or keyboard-only — pick what suits you best!

If you like our game, don’t forget to wishlist it!

Our full version is still in development, and your feedback is super important — please remember to fill out the in-game survey! You’re also welcome to join our community group and chat directly with the devs and other players!

Wishing you lots of fun in Buddy Bug!
