About the Game

Kabuto Park is a cute and short bug collection game. Spend a month as Hana, a little girl on summer vacation. Catch the best bugs and level them up, choose your team carefully and fight other kids to become the Summer Beetle Battles champion.

Expect 2 to 4 hours of serene bug catching, exciting little battles and summer vibes.

Catch cute bugs 🦋✨

Beetles! Butterflies! Bees! Dragonflies! And many more! Discover more than 40 cool bug species that live in Kabuto Park and try to catch them by timing your net swings right.

Win the tiniest sumo fights 💪🪲

Choose your team depending on their stats, abilities or look and show other kids who the best beetle battler is! Each bug you select for your team will add cards to your deck that you'll be able to use during the little fights. Try to push your opponents out of the ring.

Your rhino beetle is not strong enough? Feed it candies to level it up and you'll have better luck winning the next fight!

Buy cool stuff 🔍📗

Better boots or a better net will surely make you the best bug catcher! Lucky for you, the local store has everything you need to get access to new areas with new bugs, make rare bugs appear more often or make capture easier.

Features 🎮

🪲 What Kabuto Park offers:

  • A short creature collector: With 2 to 4 hours of playtime, this game is a perfect snack for an afternoon or a few sessions here and there. I like to keep my game short, to the point and respectful of players' time.

  • Simple game mechanics: A relaxing capture mini game, little bug battles with a simple deck building gameplay, a light upgrade system and a leveling system to upgrade your favorite critters.

  • A cozy mood: Summer vibes, childlike wonder, cute art and lovely music!

  • The cutest bugs: Bugs from all around the world are here and ready to become your friend. You can even pet them in your terrarium!

🐞 What Kabuto Park does NOT offer:

  • No Exploration or moving around in the world.

  • No big adventure with quests and a long plot.

  • No multiplayer of any kind. No PVP, no trading.

  • No spiders. That one is for you arachnophobes.

Dev team 🐛🐞

Hey, I'm Doot and I'm back with Zakku for another tiny game ✨

We are the developer and music composer of Minami Lane and Froggy's Battle, still on our quest to bring more tiny cute games to the world! Trained and helped by Minami Lane's artist Blibloop, I made the art by myself this time (please don't be mean I'm trying my best).

We really hope you'll enjoy our little game 💖
