Bug Cleaners Patch Notes

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for joining us in this Early Access stage of the game. You’ve given us even more feedback, so we wanted to act quickly again and address the most common and frustrating issues right away with another quick patch.

New Features & Improvements

  • Added brief info text when loading into levels.
  • When you clear 90% of a bug colony, the remaining bugs will slowly die off from loneliness :( This ensures you can now reliably clear a house of all its bugs!
  • Added a trash task to the Wash & Shop Swarm map, giving you a reason to pick up all those receipts.
  • Added a new accessibility option in the settings menu: you can now change the colour of hints! If the default red is hard to see, you can pick any colour that works best for you.
  • Hovering over the washing & drying machine now displays the exact number of clothes currently on it.
  • The trash located at the back of the Greenhouse is now functional.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the Beetle boss would not die to 12 bars if you quit and reloaded into the map.
  • Fixed an issue where the Beetle would sometimes fail to eat the Nutty Bar.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the Beetle's health bar not to display.
  • Fixed an item clipping issue on the Convenience Store counter.
  • Removed an extra, unintended pot in the Greenhouse.
  • Adjusted the placement of sandbags in the Greenhouse that were too difficult to find.

We will continue to bring regular updates to polish the experience. Thank you again for your incredible support! Keep your feedback coming on our Steam forums and Discord. Happy cleaning!
