Watch it play
Shoo the bugs. Feed the panda.
Chubby bugs are climbing Bao's bamboo poles. A calm 3D puzzle you turn with one finger: plan your taps, clear the poles from the top, and Bao crunches the bamboo.
- 999 stages, every one proved solvable before it ships
- Ladybugs, beetles, bees, caterpillars, moths and snails
- A worm from stage 20, cages from stage 40, then spider webs and buddy bugs
How to play
Only the top bug can fly.
The bar holds only a few, so the whole puzzle is the order you tap them in.
- 1
Tap a bug on topOnly the bug on top of each pole can fly. Tap it and it goes to the bar, and the sleepy one below wakes up.
- 2
Turn the treeDrag to turn the island and pinch to zoom in. Every colour is on show, so plan ahead.
- 3
Three of a colourThree bugs of one colour fly home together, and Bao eats every piece you clear. Keep three slots free all the way for three stars.
The chill zone
Then take it easy in the garden.
The garden is Bao's home. Between puzzles the turtles wander about, Evie the rabbit keeps tipping them over, and Bao soaks in the pond. Nothing is scored here.
Drag a lettuce leaf out of the basket and the nearest turtle comes to eat it. Hand Bao the bamboo and he munches the whole stalk. Put a turtle on the skateboard and off it goes.
Hats, bow ties and heart sunglasses for the turtles. Adopt another turtle and give it a name, or buy big things for the lawn: a turtle pond, a skate ramp, a bamboo grove, a sushi conveyor.
Buy the garden bigger, twice, and everyone draws smaller with room for more. Then buy the far garden over a little stream, a second garden you swipe to, with room for a cherry tree, a tea house and swan boats. The grand prize is the Golden Jubako. When your phone switches to dark mode, the garden goes to night.
