The Bugs
The Bugs is a new look at the genre as tower defense. It's a colorful action game with a top view of the small meadow in the grass, mire or sand, which is gradually overgrown with harmful and dangerous flowers, mushrooms or thorns.

Player estimates
Nobody publishes how many people play The Bugs, so these figures are modelled from the public counts on Google Play. Each count stands in a roughly known ratio to a population — one Play rating per ~45 players, one Steam review per ~35 owners — and the estimates below combine those readings, weighted by how much each source can be trusted to speak for the whole game. Read the range as the answer and the headline as its middle.

No source reports a live count for this game, so this is a share of the total player base — a genre assumption rather than an observation, which is why the range is wide.

Store signals
How many people have rated, reviewed or installed The Bugs where it is sold.
Not tracked for The Bugs: App Store, Steam, Discord, Reddit, YouTube, Twitch. A platform appears here once the game has a link to it — most mobile games have no Steam port or subreddit, so a gap is normal rather than a sign the game is small.
Storyline
Let the bugs eat and clean up their meadow. To do this, move the arriving bugs to the plants, surround and destroy them. Manage to pull the bugs away from the exploding plants in time or drag them to the healing plants. Level up the bugs by eating plants to increase the speed, health and bite strength of the bugs. When the maximum level bugs die, they leave boosters on the meadow to help other bugs. Some boosters can even destroy all the plants on the meadow at once! Collect gold coins from golden mushrooms to come in handy for you to continue playing and saving bugs' meadow when it's completely overgrown. Be prepared for the plants to grow faster and faster every minute. Survive as long as possible and you will feel the real action on the screen of your smartphone. Complete exciting missions of varying difficulty levels and achieve rewards in gold cups. The lords of the bugs receive emerald stars for the best high scores.

Frequently asked questions
How many people play The Bugs?
We estimate that about 60,000 people have played The Bugs — plausibly between 30K and 100K. Around 3,000 of them play on a given day, in a range of 300 and 15K. Both figures are modelled from public counts on Google Play rather than published by the developer, so read them as a scale rather than as a headcount.
Is The Bugs still active?
Yes. The Bugs is holding steady — it measured within a percent of where it was a week ago. We recheck every source daily, and the charts on this page show each platform's readings over time.
How are the The Bugs player estimates worked out?
Nobody publishes player counts for mobile games, so we infer them. Each public count we can read is converted into a population using a documented ratio — roughly one Google Play rating per 45 people who played, one Steam review per 35 owners, one Discord member per 40 players — and the live counts (Steam concurrents, members online, Twitch viewers) are converted the same way into a daily figure. Those separate estimates are then averaged in proportion to how much each source can be trusted, which is why sources that disagree widen the published range instead of cancelling out. This page is built on 2 readings taken since August 8, 2026.
