Bug Academy from Igrek Games is a physics-based puzzle game that features, you guessed it, bugs. The game centres around four different bugs that are all learning lessons at the Bug Academy which introduces various challenges they must overcome. There is no real story surrounding these bugs, you’re just here to help them be the best bug they could be.
As soon as Bug Academy begins, it immediately tells you to grab a controller because it’s easier to maneuver than a mouse and keyboard; it’s still very doable with a mouse and keyboard, but the controller is definitely the way to go. After you decide that, you immediately begin with a tutorial for the first bug, the fly.
The controls are rather simple: left thumbstick is flying around, pressing and holding left trigger will grab things, and pressing A continuously makes you fly faster and will allow you to lift heavy objects. You can gather a group of bugs as well by finding them in levels, but if they are no longer needed you can drop them with B. These controls go for all the bugs as well, with more added as you get to control others. Controlling these insects feels great; you can feel the sense of speed as they fly through the world but also you can feel the weight of an object as they are carrying it.
