Bug Heroes

### How to Play

The game centers on managing a squad of heroes while protecting a central base from waves of invading pests.

* **Hero Management:** You choose a team of three heroes (out of many unlockable options) and can switch between them instantly during gameplay. Only one hero is controlled at a time, while the others remain at the base or follow you.

* **Dual-Stick Controls:** Use the left side of the screen for movement and the right side to aim and fire. Depending on the hero, you may engage in melee combat or ranged shooting.

* **Scavenging:** You must venture away from your base to collect food (the game's primary resource) and coins. Food is used to heal your heroes and is the "health" of your base; if your food stash is depleted by enemies, the game ends.

* **Base Defense:** Use collected coins to build and upgrade turrets around your food stash. These automated defenses help protect the base while you are out exploring or questing.

### Strategy

* **Role Specialization:** Always build a balanced team. A common effective setup includes a **Tank** (like the Beetle) to soak up damage, a **Damage Dealer** (like the Spider) for quick kills, and a **Ranged Specialist** (like the Ant) to pick off enemies from a distance.

* **Upgrade the Stash Early:** Prioritize upgrading your food stash capacity in the early rounds. This allows you to stockpile more food, ensuring you have enough to heal during difficult waves and preventing a "starvation" game over.

* **Kiting and Positioning:** Since many enemies are melee-based, use your ranged heroes to "kite" them—shooting while moving backward to stay out of reach. For melee heroes, try to fight near your turrets so they can provide supporting fire.

* **Quest Management:** Side quests appear randomly and offer significant rewards. However, don't feel forced to accept every quest; if your base is under heavy fire or your heroes are low on health, it’s safer to decline and focus on survival.

* **Hero Swapping:** When a hero’s health is low, switch to another and bring the wounded hero back to the food stash. They will slowly heal while inactive, allowing you to maintain a continuous defense without losing a unit.
