About the Game

Dustlings is a fast-paced, crazy game with lots of take that and capture the flag elements. Each of players are led by a selected faction of creatures living in the Forgotten Corner under your bed.

Grublins and Crawlies have a clear goal - to lick the rolled hard Candy as quickly as possible into their world and which slips away whenever you try to catch it. Dustbuster a Soap Bar must remove a certain number of filthy creatures from the board to restore hygiene and cleanliness.

The key to the game is clever movement and placement of creatures on the board and using their special abilities. In the exercise of the powerful action sequences are helped by booster tiles, the so-called power-ups that we draw for the beginning of each round or when our creature eats a sweet crumb.

Moving around the board, you must avoid the Spots left by your opponents, floating around here and there suffocating stenches and other surprises. Creatures can weaken each other by biting each other and using abilities.

The Dustbuster is massive and can divide and merge, but every round it dissolves and can disappear in a cloud of bubbles... Each round in Dustlings is a mini puzzle during which the player tries develop optimal movement. You can gain an advantage by being smart and creative action combinations and, of course, taking advantage of the opponent's mistakes.

The gameplay is there very dynamic, so there is no question of long-term planning here - it should be done adapt to the situation on the board and react flexibly to the movements of others players. Randomness is limited to drawing booster tiles.
