Have you ever wanted to boop a bug?
Like many of us, your bugs prefer to be pet in certain ways (and some not at all).

You can pet your bug, but there will also come a time when you'll have to lay them to rest. 🪦
There are two ways you can handle your bug's death. There's no wrong answer (to us), but your choice does impact the game.

In Bugaboo Pocket, your bugs will have distinct personalities. Some are shy and will run away when you look at them. You'll need to earn this isopod's trust.
