    I wonder where the developers are and what they're doing. They seem to have a thing with being completely silent to the world.

    On another note, hopefully this game will continue to be updated. It's one of my favorites. Im one for co-op, since quest has single player covered. I personally like the whole "survive" aspect of the original better (reminds be of cod zombies) but they're both amazing games.

    Multiplayer being a separate game would make sense. That way certain characters would have 'team' abilities (someone here mentioned a medic, which was an awesome idea)

    Kinda off topic, but does anyone else see the concept of bug heroes as a great basis for a tower defense game? (the whole "defend your stash" idea and the towers) How cool would it be if there was a map that had a long, windy path to the stash, where the enemy bugs would follow. You could still maneuver around the world freely, but the bugs who wanted your food would follow the specific path. Maybe you could even set up barricades and such to slow them down as you saved up for later towers and even faught the bugs inside the path.

    As for bug heroes 1, like I said I'm still hopeing for new content.
    One update that would be nice would be separating the Hero's food inventory and the stash inventory (sometimes I just want more base food storage, and upgrading just that is expensive since you also are technically also upgradeing the Hero's invintory. Many times I feel like I'm holding full food with the heroes, only able to drop off 50 at a time at a price of 200$.

    On a side note, another awesome expansion would be a red ant with a flamethrower.

    More than just a medic has been mentioned. Just go on the Bug Heroes Wiki and check out the page Suggestions for Bug Heroes. There are so many hero suggestions I lost track.

    First thing I do in each game is to upgrade food stash to max, so I don't think it's too expensive. Though that may be the reason why I'm not that good in this game... :p

    I agree, Bug Heroes should've been much more popular. :/

    I have bug heroes DELUXE since quite a while now, but I began to play it more seriously since recently. I thought I had a good run in the kitchen lvl on normal by reaching wave 50 or something.
    Comparing it to online highscores makes my score appear ridiculous....
    I hope the guys with "infinite gold" aren't showing up on the leaderboard ???
    Else it would make the highscores totally useless since there is no way I play with infinite gold, which is like cheating for me...

    Nope, Treasure enabled players cannot post scores online. Those actually are legit scores... Some seem ridiculous I know, but I've seen -- and been able to get in some cases -- scores that are in a similar ballpark. I think there are some Youtube videos of people surviving in the 100s of rounds. Oxynidus was infamous for his BH skills back in the day... reaching rounds 80+ on hard, which is a sizeable step harder then normal.

    The easy scores are REALLY insane though, I will admiit :eek:... lasting 300 rounds means a game took 10-12 hours, which is more gameplay in ONE game then a lot of iOS games have in their entirety, haha. Its awesome for us to see people get that into this game :D

    Also, our leaderboards and relevant game data are heavily encrypted. We had cheating issues early on, but quickly squashed them.

    hmm ok then I just need to find the best way to make high score. My best strategy so far is crab+mosquito+"this turret builder guy" (don't remember the name :D ). I need the retreat hole from crab, the speed of mosquito and ofc the towers.
    You should fix this wizzard btw, he speaks everytime you shoot and since I almost always auto-shoot it's pretty annoying, that's why I never really played with him :)

    All in one this is the best dual stick shooter I ever played on iOS and those are quite a few...

    Thanks for the tip, but I prefer to figure out myself how I could improve ;)
    Copycat is not my thing :)

    try experimenting with the gold chest thing, what's your turret set up like? is your game over becuse all of your food has been eaten or all of your heroes have died? finally what mode do you play on easy,normal or hard?

    I experimented with the gold chest to try out all the skills (or nearly).
    My typical set up is upgrading food stash since at the beginning I have loads of food (I dont get any dmg since I am playing mostly mosquito the first few waves and sometimes crab to crush mobs or to "unstuck" me if needed). Then I upgrade either a main weapon bazooka or mosquito main "pistols". Then the MG tower of the termite.
    At the "end" I have the full upgraded guns of Crab and mosquito (didnt upgrade the termite weapon, he is build only), I have the crab retreat hole which I skilled pretty early, the elbow smash which I get quite early as well. Then the boom ability which pushes ennemy back.
    On the mosquito I have roulette and banditos and sometimes something else but not sure what is good for my build.
    On the termite I have in this order MG tower, railgun, auotcannon and satellite in this order.
    My food stash is protected by max zapper, max MG turret, max sniper and the 4th one it depends, often I go with a second MG turret.
    My termite turrets are placed at the intersection between far-right room entrance and far right corridor, some quite near to the food stash and some halfway between both. If it gets harder I concentrate more towers near the stash since I can only reach the far-right room with lots of difficulties, so I mostly have to give up on this after wave 30-40.
    I always play "normal" difficulty. Tried a few times "hard" and far some reason I didn't notice a huge difference (or maybe I had just a good run lol).
    Oh it would be pretty interesting for me to know the tower ranges, especially those termite towers with or without satellite, with or without termite near the towers, etc.

    I feel like a ancient Bug Heroes vet, because I've never played with this Crab character. Yes, I had to delete Bug Heroes from my device a while back, due to lack of space on my ol' 2nd gen. :(

    One day, this'll be back on my shiny new 5th gen (whenever that is) and I'll be back to slappin' those grubs with Beetle's wrench!

    Oh. *ahem* Sorry, I had a moment, continue...

    the sniper turret is less effective against faster enemies & it becomes less effective as you reach high levels. try using the scout turret it INCREASES the range OF ALL turrets.

    Some questions:
    - How do I change into other heroes in the same level (since it only allows me to bring 3)? Or do I have to erase progress in this level to choose another 3?
    - Is each stage endless? I'm on wave 10 of the kitchen stage right now and there doesn't seem to be any sign of "progress" since it's still endless shooting
    - What is "enable treasure"? What's "treasure"?
    - I've never really completed any of the "collect coins" or "collect 1 guarded coin" quests because I can't find where they are? Where do I get these?
    - What's the main difference between this game and "Bug Heroes Quest"?
