Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 8 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

I was told it was an idle game and I don't think that is CORRECT but it is close enough that it's fine. Really meditative but I think I missed something. Over all, I liked it and the emphasis it places on bugs in nature.
Very cute and fun game about taking care of bugs and restoring an ecosystem. bug/10 :)
I love this game! The art direction is super inspiring, and it fulfills a need I have had for a long time: more tamagotchi-likes ! I think the virtual pet genre has never really reached it's full potential, so a virtual pet game like this having a story is an incredible experience. Though I do find it confusing that all the bugs are from different ecoregions irl...are being released into the same habitat. Maybe one day there can be a bug game that showcases more of how insects interact with their ecosysystems as they do in real life. I love that the minigames are different for each bug species, and that there are different care goals to unlock new bugs. The sound design is also amazing

Fun Tamagotchi bug game! Nice art and cute bugs all around. a bit expensive for the amount of content it offers, but it's still a lovely game.
Mid
A small but solid assortment of arthropods to keep, each with their own unique prefs and minigames. Great graphics and a beautiful little story to go with it. While it's enjoyable, it does get repetitive very quickly. It requires player attention/action to progress, but there are some idle-like elements that clash with this, especially having to wait several minutes for the bug to hatch/evolve/die. Wish there were active/passive game modes or something. A reorder or delete option for the garden/collection would be nice too. Still worth getting on sale if you like creepy crawlies and want a short, relaxing and low-effort game.
Bugs! So many bugs! I have a bad phobia of bugs irl, but I think they're so cute so this game is great !
I've been following this game since the beginning and have loved every moment of playing the game. It is deeply comforting and cozy. It met me at a very stressful time in my life and as soon as I would boot up the game my worries would melt away. The facts and hats are adorable but I believe the best part about the game is how I have been able to show my friends the game and how they too light up when they see their bugs. The best way to beat phobias is to educate people about why they are so important/vital for our survival and why they aren't something that should be feared but instead appreciated. Bugaboo Pocket does so not only in an educational way but also in a aesthetically adorable and charming way. I will always recommend this game to everyone I meet.
Мне понравилась эта игра, потому что я люблю жуков. Вам нужно довольно хорошее знание английского, хотя бы на среднем уровне, т.к. иногда встречаются сложные слова. Эту игру я купила по скидке. Меня расстроило то, что жуков в игре не так много видов - я очень люблю многоножек, но тут их не было. Но здесь все равно много других красивых жуков, в разных расцветках. Можно красиво украсить их домики, у каждого жука свои предпочтения в интерьере. Мне понравились мини-игры, хотя со временем они надоедают, а ещё в игре очень много загрузок между почти каждым действием, это странно, ведь игра совсем небольшая. Сюжет довольно интересный, очень красиво проиллюстрирован и санимирован. Думаю, если вы любите жуков, то вам точно стоит поиграть в это, ведь игр про жуков в целом не так много, особенно таких качественных.
