Featuring 15 playable characters, each with dedicated gameplay and special attacks to master, Blasterbug: Last Bug Standing! is sweet as a honeybee for fans looking for an ant-astic good time.

Compound-eyed blasters will spot a familiar face among the fray hailing from one of 2025’s most acclaimed releases, the genre-evolving, breakout rogue ‘em up hit Absolum. The blade-wielding Galandra hops into Blasterbug: Last Bug Standing! alongside the Jaroba arena, which channels Absolum’s captivating fantasy universe, in the Blasterbug: Last Bug Standing! Absolum Pack premium DLC. Galandra won’t let pests get the butter(fly) of her; wield her iconic colossal sword and Necrotic Wave ability to squash any and all opponents. The Blasterbug: Last Bug Standing! Absolum Pack is available now for $1.99.

Blasterbug: Last Bug Standing! is fueled by arcade-style action classics fans know and love, adding bite-sized party fun with unique features like special attacks and levels modifiers for a swarm of mayhem. The highly replayable, “just one more round” battles span 15 playable bug-filled areas, each with its own gameplay twist. Trap your opponents in Bugville, swim the currents of the Sewers and, of course, avoid the dreamcrushing spoon’s attacks in the Kitchen. Don’t wing it - use each environment to your advantage and get those fly wins.
