Latest Steam announcements

  • Achievements, style changes and more - 3 January 2026

    Since release, I've made a few big changes to Buzz Wars and will continue to do so at least in the short term. -Seven new achievements have been added, with the possibility of a few more. -The UI has been updated to (in my view) more accurately represent player scores. Also added a fire effect to indicate the leading player/bot opponent.-Updated the environment in some of the levels.-Changed the in-game strategy mode music.-Fixed several minor and less minor bugs, eg minigame controls freezing on restarting the minigame.-Changed the targetting system to display clearly to players what unit they will possess if they press the possess command (yellow markers show what nearby wasps are available).-Changed the 'pheromone attack' targetting reticle.-Several other artistic changes, eg hives now have a notable red glow inside. Trees and cacti now fade out when the player is looking at them or…

  • Small Update - 29 November 2025

    -Added a volume slider to the main menu screen (players can also control volume via in game pause menu)-Fixed a bug causing players to not leave hives properly if they were already occupied by other players when they went in-Fixed problems with hive entry and exit in high ping situations-Slightly updated the tutorial, players can now cycle through the hints with F. Fixed unit possession in the tutorial to better match the main game and updated some of the text.

  • First day of full launch! - 28 November 2025

    I'm happy to announce BUZZ WARS is finally out! Take to the skies, bite, sting and outmanoeuvre your opponents. Players can opt in to multiplayer mode by hosting sessions or joining those created by others. If you aren't feeling it, head off vs AI in the single player mode. I appreciate anybody who has shown, is showing or will show interest in this project.

  • Last day of playtest and going forward with the main release - 23 November 2025

    BUZZ WARS is set to deliver a sting in 5 days! All good things come to and end and in preparation for release on November 28th I'll be disabling the free playtest of the game. I did have some content to patch in the playtest that I wanted people to see, but unfortunately due to an issue with the authenticator I was locked out of updating over the weekend - rest assured the changes will be in BUZZ WARS proper. I had some feedback that people wanted UI changes, so I'm set to work cleaning up the UI slightly. Some of the ingame effects are different; for example wasps turn red when they enrage now and check out the new speed boost visual effect (comes with new audio): AI units should feel a little less choppy now too, and I fixed a bug where the units would sometimes get stuck around flowers until something attacked them. I've added a discord link to the main menu for those interested in f…

  • Release date finalized and playtest reopened - 26 October 2025

    I'm well at work on polishing the game ready for a late November release. As such I've reopened the playtest so that hopefully more people will be encouraged to try Buzz Wars before it comes fully live. I've recently changed the lobby to include a minigame, since a concern of mine is that players became bored waiting to find matches. I'm toying with the idea of doing something similar for people who choose to host sessions as well.

  • Bug fixes and UI improvements - 29 September 2025

    At this stage I'm working on cleaning up any issues I see during playtesting, such as attacks sometimes freezing. A lot of the UI needed some cleaning up and I've worked on (hopefully) making things appear more pleasing to the eye. There were some minor balance adjustments and a final balance tuning will come just before release.

  • Slightly delayed release - 27 July 2025

    BUZZ WARS will be a primarily multiplayer game and as such it's important to grow a healthy playerbase before releasing. As such, I've delayed the launch so that I can build a little bit more of a community. I don't intend to delay again, and I'm actively working on both promoting and polishing BUZZ WARS.

  • Improved enemy AI and player options - 20 July 2025

    -Enemy AI now incorporate their velocity in their calculation to check when to attack (and what kind of attack they should use), so they should bite and sting with more accuracy. -Players can now toggle what units they would like to possess with the 1,2 and 3 keys. This will have a visual indicator in the top right. The 0 key can be used to indicate players have no preference, in which case 'P' just causes players to control the nearest allied unit like before. -Flying in and out of hives should be more robust and not cause players to fly out of the map when travelling at high speed. -Updated larvae so that they attack more reliably (when enemies are detected in range).

Short description

Buzz Wars is a wasp and bee themed strategy and fighting game with multiple playable units, various paths to win and multiple maps. Face off against other players in the multiplayer mode, or compete with AI opponents. Find your strategy - are you more a builder, a fighter or both?

About this game

BUZZ WARS is a wasp-and-bee themed RTS game with single player combat elements. Play solo or join online multiplayer matches. Players fight, build hives and accumulate points as the hives produce queens - provided the hives are fed enough resources. There's also a first person mode where players can control and command individual units. -UPDATE 25/06/2026: SOME PLAYERS HAVE DETECTED A POSSIBLE ISSUE ON THE MAP SELECT SCREEN WHERE, IF THE HOST SUGGEST A MAP BEFORE EVERYONE HAS JOINED THE SESSION, SOME PLAYERS MIGHT NOT GET THE OPTION TO CONFIRM THE MAP CHOICE. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE HOST JUST HAS TO DECLINE THE MAP SELECTION AND SUGGEST A MAP AGAIN (EVEN THE SAME ONE)- The in-game resources are pollen and meat, which can be gotten passively as friendly units fly between pollen nodes, or by killing enemy units in the case of the meat resource. Players can possess individual to fight enemies, and direct nearby allies to attack via pheromones. A key feature of this game is hive raiding, where players can fly into enemy hives and kill enemy larvae before they develop into adults. Hives are defended by drones, the larvae themselves and potentially enemy players. BUZZ WARS features 4 different maps with different distributions of resources and hive placements. 6 playable units each have different strengths, weaknesses and resource costs, and even counter each other in different ways. Some units are intended more for early game and others for late game but players can only choose 3 unit types per game, without knowledge of opponents' picks. Matches last 15 minutes and the winner is whoever has the most points at the end. Get fighting! CONTROLS: In First Person Mode: -Click and point with the mouse to move -Z to sting -Press SHIFT for a quick burst of speed. You have three uses of this, but they recharge. -X to bite (you can move while doing so) -W to target or detarget, and Q and E to cycle left and right to new targets. Press C to launch pheromones at targets, causing nearby allies to swarm them. -V to use your unit's special ability (other than the bumblebee). -(Bumblebee only) A and D to strafe left and right. In Building Mode: -Interaction is mostly…

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $4.20
  • Highest observed: $4.20

Buzz Wars's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $4.20, the highest is $4.20, and the first visible tracked price is $4.20. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Buzz Wars's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $4.20, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $4.20. The latest run records $4.20 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $4.20
  • Current list price: $4.20
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Buzz Wars at $4.20 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
