Buggy Beats

Be sure to stay on the beat or else you will end up in a sticky situation. Play through multiple levels accompanied by custom-composed music and artwork.

Building Phase: Use your conducting skills to earn currency to buy even more critters with varying instruments. Each bug's specialized instrument will act differently so be sure to strategize.

Wave Onslaught: Once you exit the building phase the wave phase will begin. See how well you keep the beat to attack these creepy intruders. When in doubt you can always use a powerful crescendo attack to wipe out incoming waves!
