“Pretty well made little game reminiscent of the Flash era. About 10 hours of content if you go for 100%. Gameplay is repetitive on lower difficulties because levels are easy to beat, but it turns into a properly fun…”
“IT IS FUN BUT HARD”
“It was a fun game! A little tough at times until I figured out some methods of how to best swarm the enemies before they swarmed me. The only issue is once I figured that out, I played every map almost the same way. But…”

“just a cheap and fun bug themed RTS. controls are very limited but you can still strategize fairly well. a bit short for my taste but the challenge modes make up for it.”
“It's quite easy after the patches but nontheless good mindless fun with many viable builds”
“I bought both 1 and 2 and they really fill that quick urge to play something unique and fun. Number 1 takes a quick 6 hours to beat and you will quickly find your strategy of choice. There is a ton of play styles that…”

“I think its a well made game. Its fun to command an army of bugs and the story is funny. The achievements are reasonable and the gameplay allows for many tactics. Great game, and I found no glitches in the game.”

“Fun game but main campaign is extremely easy and boring. After a hour of playing you have so many evolution points its possible to spam one unit and win every map without hassle. There are strong human units/buildings…”
“Fun short game. Cute mechanics and a silly premise.”

“Live out your fantasy as a xenomorph killing disgusting humans! The graphics are basic, the music is forgettable, it's made using basic Unity, but it's a fun game. Build out your gooey base full of pulsating nutrient sacks and send out the hordes when the humans get too close.…”
