Origins & Concept• Cooperative dungeon crawler
style game set in a mad scientists backyard.
• Natural setting transitions from above ground to below ground as the players enter the hive and descend to find lab equipment fragments.
• Levels present structured objectives and hordes of defending robotic ants
• You'll have to battle your way through the defending bugs to reach the core of the organic hive and destroy the queen

Mechanics• Single screen isometric view
(possibly with zoom-out to enable more wandering)
• 8-way character movement with joystick, attack combos with buttons
• Upgradeable bugs can assume unique abilities by acquiring lab equipment fragments
• Collaborate with teammates to explore levels, find power-ups, overpower 'enemies', solve puzzles, 'save' the lab
• Levels are procedurally generated to increase replay value
