About this game

*** WARNING. DUE TO INTENSE GRAPHICAL AND PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS THE BUG BUTCHER IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR DEVICES WITH LESS THAN 2GB OF RAM. ***

The Bug Butcher is an intense action shooter, wrapped in stylistic 2D art, and smeared with juvenile humor where timing and fierce reflexes are paramount in protecting your fragile squishy body! The gameplay has an extremely simple core mechanic that is easy to understand, but hard to master. Plus, who doesn’t love a universe where you wield a beefy arsenal of military grade weaponry.

The core mechanics hold old ties from the classic arcade shooters, where you shoot vertically, but with modern day twists. You are Harry, a brash and tenacious exterminator who has a knack for decimating bugs.

Harry’s current assignment takes him to the infested futuristic research facility on planet Zoit. The surviving and dwindling number of scientists employed him for his slaughtering skills. Harry’s mission: survive until the decontamination of the building is complete, hoard coins like his life depended on it, and protect the scientists at all costs. Watch out for the spiders as they have a particular fondness for rubber encased scientists. After landing, you will move from room to room through the facility blasting rockets, lasers, and wielding the power of lighting upwards at anything not human.

Ratings and reviews

Mobile games that are available on console are easily the best experiences, free from microtransactions and all the nonsense. This game is an excellent arcade shooter with a nice art style and a neat sense of humor. Its linear, fun, and easily digestible in short bursts. Touch controls, especially with the special ability, is frequently unresponsive, but otherwise a highly recommended game.

I love....or should I say, Loved the game. I cant upgrade my weapon past level 3. Ive now tried 2 consecutive back to back times and the game freezes as soon as i choose the laser for my weapon. Being that this issue is unavoidable I am being forced to either play the same few stages in the game that are available to me..or just simply delete. Bummer Dude! :(

Fantastic game with funny animation that could hold you for hours if the controls were just a little better. O wish there was an option to change the size or placement of the buttons. I lost count of the amount of times I couldn't shoot cause my thumb wasn't exactly on center button.
