About The Bugger!
The Bugger! is a short roleplaying game set on Silicon Island, where you are the only programmer in town. You work from home for BoringSoft, a company that makes boring products, and enjoy a quiet life with diskettes and dial-up connections. Then your boss emails you files to review; opening them causes your computer to explode and release bugs that infect the island. You must repair your computer, squash the bugs and save your job before you are fired.
Explore Silicon Island
You travel around the island, find items, help its quirky residents and play mini games. The game uses 1-bit isometric pixel art.
