What is Bugdom?

Bugdom is a third-person 3D action game in which you incarnate a beetle and explore a cartoon-styled outdoors bugs kingdom.  Bugdom was shipped with DV iMacs in 2000 and was one of the first Mac games to make use of ATI TruForm 3D tessellation.

There is a port for modern systems available at https://github.com/jorio/Bugdom

Description from Wikipedia:

Bugdom's story centers on the Bugdom, a kingdom inhabited by insects that appears as an outdoors bug environment. Originally, the kingdom was peacefully ruled by the rollie pollies and ladybugs, but not long ago, the kingdom was overthrown by the tyrannic and pompous King Thorax, leader of an evil clan of fire ants, as well as their evil follower bugs recruited prior to the kingdom's downfall. Thorax now rules the kingdom with an iron fist, and the ladybugs have been imprisoned in spider web cages scattered across the environment. The player assumes the role of main protagonist Rollie McFly, who has survived the ambush of the kingdom by taking refuge in the lawn area. Rollie must travel to Thorax's anthill on the distant reaches of the Bugdom, while freeing various trapped ladybugs along the way.
