Description

Fueled by honor and hate for overcooked vegies the Barbaric Bugbarian starts a circular conquest of the tower of power.

What is it

Bugbarian is a minimalist one-button looter autobbatler RPG. You strategize and choose encounters along the climb and loot to build a warrior worthy of glory. 

How to play

You play using just one button (space, mouse click, or gamepad primary button) control the Bugbarian. Hold the button to move and release to choose the enemies you wish to face or to rest at a camp. On each floor of the tower you can choose 3 encounters. Upon defeating enemies you may choose one item of loot to equip  from the the three offered. At the end of the floor you move up until you reach the dome and have a chance to defeat the game boss.

What is it, really

A game made in a couple of days for a one-button game jam.

It may contain bugs or other annoyances. The balance is work in progress, so please share your insights.

Even if a woodchuck could chuck wood and even if a woodchuck would chuck wood, should a woodchuck chuck wood?
