    Man, I can't seem to go thru... Farthest I've been is round 20-22 for the kitchen. I don't know how people can make it even farther.

    Eventually I get swarmed. I upgrade all the towers, some of the hero weapons, but don't really have money to spare on other things.

    Just managed to get 6th on the Normal leaderboards for Pond. Pretty much used Ant exclusively, and got 3 Laser turrets to level 4, and a Zapper.
    Never used Beetle much, he seems kinda meh :|

    Heh, this is usually what people tend to think at first... in fact Beetle is probably the strongest late game hero ;) Once you gear him up he is insanely durable and can deal with huge hordes easily. Also, his stunning abilities can be crucial to give Spider time to chop up some of the bigger heroes... Ant definitely has some powerful abilities and is a great defensive hero, but he really gets bogged down once the huge hordes start coming in.

    funny enough, on Kitchen map, my scores are always better on normal than on easy. :D

    you wouldn't overlook it but i hope those icons will not all be the same!

    may i suggest that you do not make the game so dark during nighttime, or brighten the contrast a touch during night time? or make the torchfly provide more light? it's bad to the eyes, especially when i play it all the time!

    Important question: Some games I get decent food spawn rate, and others it happens once every 10 rounds or so, but never in between. Is this intentional, or is something screwy happening? I've noticed this since it first came out.

    Probably due to the stimulation of the challenge. On easy you're more likely to get sloppy.

    Can't you just increase or decrease the brightness on your device?

    Yup. That's a whole other layer of this game's depth. I didn't play much with Beetle early on because of his speed made him seem useless, but I am getting better knowing when to use him and there are certainly situations he rocks in that the other two heroes are nigh useless or die like a glass cannon.

    Can't even imagine how much the new heroes are going to complicate this game (in a good way of course :D).

    Yeah don't worry, those icons are temporary.... they're all just using Ant's porta turret icon for now :p We've got almost 100 new icons to make, so that will come last >_<

    Yeah my thoughts exactly about easy... its funny though bc easy has so many adjustments. enemies spawn less, you have 100s of extra HPs, you heal more HPs when eating from your stash, heroes are a 1/3 the cost to revive them...

    As for food, it spawns every 2-3 minutes (random) for the first 15 rounds or so, then it slowly gets more frequent.

    Foursaken, have you considered porting Bug Heroes to desktop platforms, such as Windows/OS X, or to consoles? (Given the obvious and necessary resources, time, etc.)

    Most fans of a game probably would like to see it spread further, and many threads in these forums probably sport the same question, but it seems to me that Bug Heroes, with its both mouse + keyboard-friendly (left stick, keyboard, right stick, mouse) and console controller-friendly gameplay, considerable depth of both content (with more on the way), strategy and gameplay mechanics, and hybridized gameplay would make a particularly excellent fit.

    I encountered a weird glitch yesterday while playing Kitchen - Normal, that I've not yet been able to reproduce. In short, any Port-Turret I placed with Ant had a perpetual buff and displayed the green halo, ala - BBG. This happened from the beginning of the game on, until I actually purchased and used BBG in round 18/19. Once I used BBG and it wore off, then my Porta-Turrets reverted to normal but once those (normal) Porta-Turrets expired and I laid down new ones, they were once again buffed without having to activate BBG.

    I don't know what the trigger for the glitch was (would be most useful if I did), but using the BBG skill temporarily resets it. Also, I don't think stash turrets were affected at all.

    No plans for other devices at this time :/ Even though we'd love to do it, the truth is we just don't have the resources for it.

    Interesting, we'll see if we can track anything down. If you are ever able to reproduce it, let us know!

    Are you accidentally pressing the "replay tutorial" button or something? Definitely never heard of this one before...

    Holy Moly, just got 600 food in one spawn! One fish head, a crescent, a plate of crumbs, a slice of cake, corn and a chicken wing, and a piece of fruit. I would normally get 30 food per spawn so this was the exception, and as soon as I saw the piece of corn first I thought I was lucky. I didn't know just how lucky I was though!

    PS. Top score on office easy is fake. Also, I'm at over half a million points, anyone else have similar scores?except for Oxynidus:p

    There is a problem here. Sometimes the game goes on from round 5 to the end of the game with hardly any food spawns (maybe like 1 to 3).

    Could people keep an eye on that and make sure it's not a glitch of some sort? It could be my imagination.

    It was showing the button, I did not press on it but It still took me through review...
    I closed the app & re-opened it, if its reproduces, not to worry as its only in the beginning of the game, also as its an iPod touch & not jail broken, no multitasking (so it won't resume ;) ) neither am I one of those busy PpL who can't wait for the game to reload :D

    The game is effing awesome & is definitely worth $2... I have been playing on this since I bought it & I am loving it :)
    Icing on the cake?
    I had no clue about the upcoming update!
    The game balance is really good, keeps me hooked & thinking on what to buy as an upgrade

    I had a question about the Coliseum purchase options, there is no food stash, where does the ant hole take me if I buy it?
