The Joystiq Free Game Club: Buggle Stars


We already told you about the Casual Collective's hyper-addictive Desktop Tower Defense iteration, but this week we've been swept away by another one of their confections: Buggle Stars, a platformer with an adorable shell to hide its difficulty.

You're a little buggle who wants nothing more than to collect all the stars in each stage of his world as quickly as possible. The faster you grab them (while simultaneously avoiding spikes and other hazards), the higher your score. It sounds easy enough, and it is. At first.

Before long, you'll realize that there's a "right" way to sail through each level, and if you're ... well, let's say a particular sort of person, you'll find it tough to resist the siren song of the perfect run.

Graphically it's simplicity itself, but we have to give a little love to the music, which is just charming enough to keep your fist out of your monitor when things get tough.

Give it a try and let us know what you think.
