Hollow Buddy is a little bug that watches you play Hollow Knight and learns from your gameplay.

Then, race your bug against other bugs in tests of skill and radness.

Note that Hollow Buddy does NOT require Hollow Knight to play (but it is recommended!). Instructions on how to connect to Hollow Knight are included in the download.
