B.U.G. Force

B.U.G. Force is a VR third-person shooter set inside a computer motherboard invaded by an alien virus. You pilot a ship as the last line of defence, navigating the circuits, fighting enemies and trying to reach the top of the global highscore.

The motherboard

The alien crash site is near the CPU, and telepads have appeared across the motherboard’s inner circuits. You begin on a startpad beside your ship, with health, bullets and energy each at 100%. Capturing telepads earns points and power-ups; you also shoot enemies and fight bosses, with the possibility of beating the game.

Skills and strategy

Progress depends on navigation, shooting accuracy, spatial perception, reactivity and tactical ability. You also need to learn the VR controllers and judge your ship’s movement, distances to enemies and obstacles, and the flight of bullets. A more aggressive, riskier playstyle can earn more points.

Levels and high scores

The game has 7 levels, 6 unique bosses and an end-game mode. Playing through all the levels is designed to take approximately 30 minutes. There are 3 difficulty modes, each with its own highscore. There are no autosaves, and you have only one life.
