Gameplay
The game details a war of one group of insects battling against another. The battlefields are common household places such as the kitchen floor or the backyard. The player must navigate their bugs, each with special skills, and engage the enemies’ bugs.
The main objective of each battle is to either eradicate all of the enemy bugs or 'capture' every piece of food on the battlefield. This is achieved by positioning your bugs on the food long enough to raise a flag. When all pieces of food bear your team's flag, the battle is won. However, the enemy bugs will attempt to do the same thing and can reclaim captured food.
Reception
Robert L. Hayes Jr. of Computer Gaming World wrote, "No one will lose their jobs or spouse to an overdose of Battle Bugs playing, but plenty of gamers will have many enjoyable evenings of conquering cheese wedges and slaughtering spiders."
