About Kabuto Park
Kabuto Park lets you spend a summer vacation as Hana, a little girl who catches and trains cute bugs. Over 2‑4 hours you’ll time net swings, level critters, and build a tiny deck for light battles against other kids. The game blends a relaxing capture mini‑game with simple deck‑building and a modest upgrade system, all wrapped in bright summer vibes and charming music.
The experience is deliberately short and focused, offering no open‑world exploration, quests, or multiplayer. Instead, you collect more than 40 bug species, pet them in a terrarium, and aim to become the Summer Beetle Battles champion through strategic team choices and occasional candy feeding.
01 / THE GUIDE
Gameplay Overview
Players catch bugs by timing net swings, a core mini‑game that lasts a few minutes per encounter. Each successful catch adds the bug to your collection, and the bugs you select for your team add cards to your battle deck.
After catching, you select a team of bugs and face off in tiny sumo‑style fights where the goal is to push the opponent out of the ring. The battles use the cards generated from your chosen bugs.
- Observe the swing timing rhythm early to improve capture consistency.
- Experiment with different bug combinations to see which decks feel most comfortable.

Bug Collection & Leveling
Kabuto Park features over 40 bug species, including beetles, butterflies, bees, and dragonflies. Each caught bug can be fed candies to increase its level, which improves its performance in battles.
Feeding candies to a bug raises its level, giving you better luck in the next sumo fight.
- Prioritize feeding candies to bugs you enjoy using most.
- Track which bugs level faster to build a reliable core team.

Deck Building & Battles
Each bug you select adds cards to a personal deck. During a battle you use these cards in the little fights as you try to push the opponent out of the ring.
The battles are short and focus on positioning rather than complex combos, keeping the experience light and accessible.
- Balance offensive and defensive cards for a versatile deck.
- Watch opponent patterns to time your push cards effectively.

Upgrades & Store Items
The local store sells items such as better boots and nets, which make catching easier or increase the chance of rare bugs appearing. Purchases also unlock new areas with additional bug species.
Upgrades are optional aids, and items can smooth the catching process.
- Invest in a better net early if you find timing challenging.
- Save for area‑unlocking items to expand your bug roster.
