Dear Gang,
Steam Awards season is here, and our tiny criminal insects have big ambitions. They want two trophies:
“The Best Game You Suck At” “Better With Friends”
Now, normally “you suck at it” is just a metaphor. In The Mosquito Gang it’s… biology.
You literally:
suck blood to win the game
and somehow suck your friends into the chaos too
Play solo and you’ll get slapped, swatted, and humiliated. Play with friends and you’ll get slapped, swatted, and humiliated… together. Which, as we all know, makes it way better.
Help our bloodsucking gang rise to glory with just a few clicks:
Open The Mosquito Gang’s Steam store page.
Scroll down until you see the Steam Awards section.
For the category “The Best Game You Suck At”, click and choose The Mosquito Gang.
Then look for “Better With Friends” and once again nominate The Mosquito Gang for that category.
Every nomination helps more players discover that:
You can suck to actually win
And yes, The Mosquito Gang is absolutely better when everyone is sucking together ːsteamhappyː
Thank you for playing and proudly nominating the only game where you’re supposed to suck. 🦟

Hey gang! Our Huge Update launches as we join the Steam Summer Sale! Every player who logs into the game during the Steam Summer Sale will receive Human summer outfit. What’s in the Update? Here’s the list:
Up to four Human players fight HUGE swarms of Mosquitoes. Try to survive 10 waves to win the game! Use new weapons to fight back:
Nerf Heavy Machine Gun

Turbo Smoke Spiral
Enhanced Sniper Fumigator
In future updates, we’ll provide additional options for this game mode, including difficulty scaling for single-player, and a friendly fire switch to take the challenge to another level.
We saw a lot of feedback regarding the difficulty of our mini games. So, we created a map for you to launch in single player and try everything the game offers: quest mini games, human devices, or mosquito abilities.
Human health points are now shown as numbers, not percentages.
Added a new weapon to the Human shop – Toy Pistol.
Added visual effects to spiral and fumigator poison damage on Mosquitoes.
Added a visual indication for low health.

Speed Flag ability upgrade – Totem of Torture: your flag also emits mosquito buzzing to confuse Humans.
Speed Flag ability upgrade – Scarecrow: your flag creates fake mosquitoes that are visible in AR glasses.
Shield ability upgrade – The Dome: now you can cover your entire team with a shield.
Added Shark outfit.
Hey everyone!
Here comes the second step of our roadmap — the balance patch is live! 🛠️
We hope this update helps bring a more even playing field between the two teams.
We also delivered a lot of social functions and UI enhancements to improve the overall experience.

We’ve already dropped a few spoilers, but more surprises are on the way, so stay tuned! 👀
