A great top score by Lee Boon in January - is that going to be a sign of things to come in 2021?

Making it Home - A vehicle building game currently in early access. You're a lady bug building a rube goldberg style machine to take you across America! Think Banjo Kazooie - Nuts and Bolts but in 2D.

September 2020 Monthly Leaderboard
Some sterling work there from new names and old alike, keeping that golden menace at bay!
Wait a minute. Golden menace? Autumn leaves turning golden? The cycle of the seasons?

It's all starting to make sense

July & August Monthly Leaderboards
Apologies for the delay, folks, but it's been a super busy summer for us at Pill Bug. As well as a super strange one, obviously.
But all the while folks have been enjoying Cycle 28 and posting some mighty fine scores. So, without further ado, here's the scores for July:
Whoa. Those are some serious numbers right there.
August was a little more modest on the score front. Maybe people were out enjoying the sunshine?
We're back on top of things here, so expect regularly monthly leaderboard posts to resume.
Our vehicle building game ‘Making it Home’ is now available!
We’ve been working on it for a while now and are super proud of it. It’s something we had the idea for 3 years ago. In Making it Home you are a ladybug building a marvellous contraption to travel from one side of America to the other. As you travel you’ll unlock new components to build your vehicle and discover ways of making them work together. You’ll meet lots of different characters and face different challenges to push your design skills. Then when you just want to chill out and optimise some designs we’ve added some challenge modes with leaderboards for that.
It’s the biggest game we’ve made and it would be great if you check it out today and join us for the Early Access journey!
June 2020 Monthly Leaderboard
We hope everyone is staying safe and well. Wherever you are in the world, chances are your June has been affected by the pandemic somehow. For some this will include changes to how we engage with games and the hobby of gaming. I know it's changed the way Sean and I play games right now.
So it's just awesome to see two mainstays of the Cycle 28 leaderboards continue to post excellent scores, as well as seeing some new names in the Top 5.
Play the demo for our next game Making it Home!

Making it Home is a vehicle building game. You’re a ladybug building a marvellous contraption to travel from one side of America to the other. Bounce around your vehicle, hoisting sails, squeezing bellows, and spinning propellers. How will you make it home?

May 2020 Monthly Leaderboard
May, for many people, was another month in some form of lockdown. We hope everyone is staying safe and well. It was also a month of huge protest and upheaval as events in the USA reverberated around much of the world.
In times like these, games and other such activities can feel insignificant or a luxury. And we think it's okay to feel that way - we know friends and family who have stopped their hobbies or playing games because now just doesn't feel like the time. But we also know many people take solace and comfort in the escapism and structure games can provide. For so many people, gaming is a core part of their identity and community.
In the last weeks and months, the varied communities that we are lucky to be part of have really pulled together and done some amazing things (check out our social media streams if you'd like to know more).
Stay safe, everyone, and look after each other.
