    Hey guys!,

    I have a bug (that has probably been talked about already). Sometimes giant snails start spawning and dissapearing randomly covering the entire playing field.

    spoiler***I think that the skill master that teaches chance is on an ant only level.

    Have a button show up when you approach an NPC, or disable the automatic interaction when you run into an NPC; I'm sure everyone will think of tapping an NPC with an exclamation mark floating over their heads, and figure out that tapping them the second time will bring up some dialog.

    I'm surprised there is no achievement for getting Fly up to level10, like there are for the other three extra characters before him.

    I think dav!diot is right... Thats the skill I'm missing for beetle and spider and I can't seem to get it no matter what I try. Anyone else agree?

    On level number eight of Outside ant gets chance, and the skill master tells him to bring his friends too (though that is a level you can only play as ant). Perhaps one of the levels after that (not nine) you will have the ability to use other characters outside and meet up with the same skill master. Have you finished all the levels for outside? If that doesn't work, try some of the earlier outside levels where there is a skill master.

    I've been having so much fun with both Bug Heroes and Bug Heroes Quest. Love the story, skills and abilities, and having completed the game, I've managed to find one rather game-breaking bug.

    If you use a duration based skill and then switch the skill out, it will remain in effect forever. I've tested it with all of the skills, and these are the ones that are bugged:

    Ant - Goggles, Enhanced Turrets, Entrenched, Piercing Bullets, Big Bullets
    Beetle - Adrenaline, Repel, Frenzy, Berzerk, Warrior Gauntlet, Colossus
    Spider - Evade, Iron Hood, Night Hunter, Superior Assassin

    Those that aren't (or have no effect when swapped out):

    Ant - Shoulder Turret, Repulsar Waves, Howitzer
    Beetle - Shockwaves
    Spider - Poison Cloud


    Fortunately for me, I only discovered this after I finished the game. I tried out stacking all of the buffs in the final arena, and it is overwhelmingly broken. Especially Beetle. Takes only 2 damage from anything, regens 4 hp very frequently, 100% stuns all melee enemies, hits harder than Spider and moves faster than Ant. Please don't do this if you've not completed the game, I couldn't die in the arena even past the 20 minute mark and had to quit in order to leave it.

    Despite that, I still immensely love this game. :)

    Hmmmm, interesting -- We were aware of that bug and specifically squashed it a while back. Are you sure this is happening, and its not that you've buffed up your level up skills to nearly max? Is there a green circle around the heroes after you swap the abilities out? Regardless, thanks for the heads up -- we're looking into it.

    And yep, Chance is unavailable to Spider and Beetle :/ Fixed.

    Also in regards to the NPC situation, we are indeed just going to have you tap on the NPC in order to talk to them. There will be a "tap here" sign along with the exclamation point.

    I actually came by this bug by accidennt when i was using beetle and swapped adrenaline out after using it. The green ring does stay there though. And I'm sure because none of beetle's skills except adrenaline make him that fast.

    What are the greatest weapons you can get for each character? Someone mentioned light sabers for spider - though I just have the four big blades so far. I have wrench for Beetle. I think I have some kind of submachine gun for ant. I have only done one level in Bathroom so far, and almost all levels in the other areas.

    The deck arena is tough - as there is such a small space to maneuver. Can't wait to see what the arena in the bathroom is like. I wish there was a way to play each arena after you finish the game - but at a set level, like in the original Bug Heroes (the set level being starting over in each one and levelling up in it until you die). I like playing through the game and attempting each arena when you get there, then coming back and trying again a few levels later - but when the game is finished, your characters will be so maxed out that the arena won't pose the same challenge.

    I wonder what the max level for each character is?

    Laser Blades with Spider, a rapid fire "cannon" for Ant, and a Pipe Wrench for Beetle (not the regular wrench. As for the arenas, that is why we have 4 of them, to be appropriate for you current level. Also, all of them get pretty darn hard at a certain point. And I must say, it is fun in its own right to go back and visit early arenas when you can one shot fleas and ants and pretty much decimate the early waves effortlessly.

    Glad to hear it :D

    I was back in the first arena today, with Ant after unlocking Bathroom, and the game completely froze on me. Didn't crash, just froze, and even if I exited and came back, still frozen. Had to taskkill it.

    At the time I had two turrets out, three sets of burrow mines, shoulder turret activated, enhanced turrets activated, and was shooting a pair of bugs above me. Time was 1:42/10:00.

    EDIT: Should mention, I'm on a Verizon iPhone 4. Just updated to 4.2.10 last night.

    Is that the one on the grill? If so, you can either be roast bug and get it from the South side of the grill (which I did), though you take some damage. Or you can get a clue from reading the achievements (one mentions the grill) - though this is something you do on a later level then you come back and replay this level and the problem is no longer there.

    If that is not the one you are referring to, let me know.

    Thanks, looking into it for the next update.

    Awesome, glad you're enjoying it :) Like most devs I'm sure, we have a million ideas that we wish we could get done (i would LOVE to do a iOS friendly rts), but there just isn't the time... and unfortunately for the Bug Heroes universe, its likely we'll be moving on to other content for future games.

    I seem to be having a problem with skill masters. After changing levelup skills with a skill master and exiting the map, i sometimes have a skill show up twice. As in, when exit the map and choose a new level, ill have two speed skills with spider or two lucky shots with ant. I think this has something to do with the fact that ive maxed all skills on both ant and spider and switched. Could you guys take a look?
