Finding a tiny red beetle on a huge island too hard? Not if we work together! 🤝

Welcome to The Red Beetle Squad, an online asynchronous multiplayer game where each player must use the powers of different characters to find a tiny red beetle hidden somewhere on a big island. 🪲

🔍 Game Concept

You control a team of characters, all adorable and quirky, each with a unique ability to help you on your quest. The goal is simple (in theory): find the right red beetle and bring it back to the Beetle Altar. 🏝️

Each character has their specialty: the Detective 🕵️‍♂️ searches objects, the Naturalist 🪧 places signs so no one loses track, the Courier 🚴‍♀️ brings the beetle to the altar... and we even have a Ghost 👻 who, honestly, doesn’t do much. But hey, it’s cute, right?

🚀 Gameplay

- Asynchronous Multiplayer: You’re never alone! You cooperate online with other players to complete this seemingly simple, but full of twists, mission. 🌐
- 8 Unique Characters: Each has their own power. Use them strategically to find the beetle faster. 🦸‍♀️
- Quick Games: Each run lasts less than a minute, so no pressure! ⏱️

🎨 Visuals and Sound

Vidu went all out to bring you colorful, stylized cartoon graphics. 🎨 And what about the music? 🎶 Each character has their own interpretation of the main theme, giving each run its own unique atmosphere. 🎧

⚙️ Platforms

🎉 The Team

This game was developed by Team Empreintes (Jaxime and Vidu), with the fantastic soundtrack created by Benjamin Widawski. 🎶 We hope you’ll have as much fun playing it as we had developing it! Thanks for playing! 🎮

🔄 Update on the Game

- We modified the music system: now, starting a new run with a new character won't restart the music. Instead, it will continue playing from the same timestamp as the previous track.
We fixed some bugs to prevent crashes when loading the map on iOS.
- We fix some bugs that may allow player on Ios to stop crashing when map is loading.
