About the Game

Bug Band is a charming story-driven rhythm game where you play as a stag beetle named Poe who loves music.

a heart-warming story with a cast of kooky characters

spend your days attending bug high school, playing music with your misfit friends, and figuring out what life after graduation could look like.

a short, delightful game

much like the characters of our story, this game is small! please expect a few hours of engaging story and fun music-based game play.

features

  • be really small

  • walk around and talk to the other bugs in town

  • play rhythm games with a catchy original soundtrack

  • live out a cute story about fitting in (one way or another)

  • arcade mode: skip the story and just play the music-based mini-games if you want!
