Bugs and Turrets

Be the swarm. Smash the turrets.

Bugs and Turrets turns tower defense around: this time you are the bugs. Tap the map to send your swarm against turrets that grow stronger every wave, earn gold and research stronger bugs. Now built for portrait: play the whole game with one hand.

ONE-HAND PORTRAIT PLAY
Hold your phone upright and play with your thumb. The map, your bug cards, the base and every menu are laid out for portrait.

GROW AT YOUR OWN PACE
New features unlock step by step as you progress, and a short guided tutorial shows each new tool the first time you meet it. You are never buried in menus on day one.

FOUR BUG TYPES
Brawlers bite up close, Tanks draw the fire, Spitters fly over the trees and attack from range, and Medics heal the army. Every type is strong against some turrets (green ▲) and weak against others (red ▼), so choose the right bugs for every fight.

FIVE TURRET TYPES
Cannon, Machine Gun, Freezer, Sniper and Mortar each have their own weak spot. A boss turret arrives every 10 waves. Later turrets gain affixes like shields, rapid fire and repairs, a Shield Tower protects its neighbours, and wave mutations change the rules of a map. Summon the Queen when the going gets tough.

PHEROMONE
Tap a turret and your whole swarm (Medics excepted) rushes it for a few seconds. Take down the Shield Tower or a boss first and watch the defense fall apart.

BUILD YOUR BASE
Upgrade your Headquarters, build and level up turrets with wood, stone and iron, and place statues that boost your gold, your bugs and your loot.

RAID OTHER PLAYERS
Scout rival bases, destroy their turrets and buildings, and win stars, loot and trophies. Open supply chests and take revenge on players who raided you.

WEEKLY LEAGUE AND SEASONS
Every week you are placed in a group of 30 players and race for the top of the table. Seasons last 4 weeks and end with a partial trophy reset and a season chest. A weekly event brings its own mutation and ranking.

EXPEDITION
A 10-wave roguelite run: pick your boosts, push as far as you can and earn Amber. Your main progress is never reset.

WHILE YOU ARE AWAY
Your base keeps producing for up to 8 hours. Come back, collect, and watch an optional rewarded video to double it.

On Android, optional reminders tell you when your shield is about to end, a supply chest is ready, Defense Day is ready or the weekly event starts.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND RECORDS
Tiered achievements in the Logbook pay out Amber, and a NEW RECORD banner celebrates every personal best.

DEFENSE DAY
A wild colony attacks your base in 7 stages. Keep your Headquarters standing to earn gold and Amber.

COSTUMES
Dress every bug type in new looks. Each costume gives a small bonus of its own: more speed, health, bite or gold.

TASKS AND RANKINGS
Daily tasks, weekly and monthly rankings, and all-time world and country leaderboards.

Play in English, Turkish, German, Spanish and Portuguese; change the language in Settings. Raids, rankings and leagues need an internet connection. No sign-up: your account is created automatically, and Profile has a Delete my data button.

Free to play. Optional rewarded videos give extra Amber and rewards. Amber buys costumes, x2 game speed and auto-spawn. In-app purchases are available: Amber packs and a one-time reward pack that gives video rewards without watching.
