The briefing

About this game

A Bug's Life is an adventure platform game based on the animated film. Players control Flik through 15 levels, each with different objectives connected to the movie's storyline. Completing a level unlocks the next one, accompanied by a short film animation.

Gameplay

Flik can transform partially buried seeds into plants that help solve level challenges. Colored tokens expand the number of plants he can grow, with each color corresponding to a particular plant type. Floating telescopes point toward important areas, helping guide Flik through each stage.

Some levels contain Flik's harvesting invention, which can be used to collect grain and eliminate enemy bugs. Bonus rewards are available for collecting 50 pieces of grain, finding the four letters spelling F-L-I-K, and permanently defeating every enemy bug in a level. Completing all bonus objectives unlocks a bonus movie.
