Keybugs: Word Puzzle Game

Love word games? Keybugs is a fun word puzzle and spelling game where glitch-bugs land on your keyboard and chew the keys. Squash them with words!

Every bug sits on a letter. Type a real word that uses its letter and SPLAT, it's gone. One word can squash lots of bugs at once: CLIMB squashes any bugs sitting on C, L, I, M or B. The bigger the word, the more bugs you squash, the more you score and the bigger the cheer: NICE!, GREAT!, MEGA!... UNBELIEVABLE!

HOW IT WORKS
• Bugs land on the letters of a bright toy keyboard and start chewing
• Spell a word with their letters and watch the bugs it will hit light up
• Press SQUASH and your letters fly down to splat them
• Points = bugs × letters × combo, so big words and long streaks pay off (keep it going for up to ×8!)
• If a bug chews right through, that key breaks and you can't type it any more. Lose three keys and it's game over
• Squash 3 bugs with one word to earn a plaster, then tap a broken key to fix it

MEET THE BUGS
• Nibblers: the everyday munchers
• Hoppers: jump to a new key every few seconds. Be quick!
• Beetles: hard shells. Hit them twice, or use their letter twice, like TREE
• Lovebugs: come in pairs. Get both letters in one word
• Queen Glitch: turns up every fifth wave on the hardest letters (J, Q, X or Z), takes three hits and swaps your keys around while she's at it
• Bandits: sneak in later on and try to pinch your key caps

They even live on the title screen: tap them to squash them, or tap the letters to play a tune.

PATCH'S WORKSHOP
After every wave, pick one of three cards and power up your keyboard:
• Key caps: fit one to any key and words with that letter do something extra. Bombs blast the keys around them, Zap strikes the bug closest to breaking a key, Frost freezes every bug, Gold doubles your points, Vortex sucks up the whole row... nine caps, each with three levels
• Perks: extra plasters, bigger points for long words, a combo that survives a miss, and more
• Every run builds differently, so find your favourite combo

PATCH, YOUR REPAIR ROBOT
Patch drops in to start every game and cheers you on out loud: "Mega squash!", "Queen down!", "New best!". He shouts when a key is in trouble, whispers a word when you're stuck on a hard letter, fits your key caps with his trusty wrench, and keeps you company on the title screen.
