About the game
A calm caterpillar game for ages 6 to 8.
Hungry Bug is a gentle take on the classic snake game, made for young children. Guide a friendly caterpillar around a checkered garden, munch the shiny red apples and watch it grow longer with every bite. Fill the apple counter and a butterfly flutters in to say well done.
There is no game over. If the caterpillar bumps into a tree, the pond, the garden edge or itself, it gives a little wiggle and carries on. No timers, no high scores to chase, and it plays without Wi-Fi.
Features
What it does
No game over, ever
Bumps end in a wiggle, not a fail screen. There are no timers and nothing to lose, so a six-year-old can play without getting stuck or upset.
Three gardens, three butterflies
Roam the Meadow, the Orchard and the Pond. Each garden has its own butterfly to find and keep in the butterfly album.
Easy for small hands
Swipe the garden or tap big arrow buttons. The buttons can sit on the left or the right, and Slow mode takes the pace down a notch.
Dress up the caterpillar
Fifteen skins to collect. Three are free from the start and three more are earned by eating apples as you play, never by chance.
A grown-ups area
Settings and any purchases sit behind a parental gate with two times-table questions. The game never asks a child to buy anything.
Quiet when you need it
Sound and vibration can be switched off, and the game follows the device’s Reduce Motion setting.
