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.

Really fun game with good graphics. The progression system is a little basic, but does not detract from the overall enjoyment. The biggest issue is the controls. For a game that relies on reflexes and speed, it's annoying when your finger slips from a button or you don't hit a button square to trigger it. The solution should be to enable game pads, but my PS4 controller does not work and from research, others experience similar issues with other pads. Shame.

As someone who retries levels a lot to get three stars, I have come across an annoying bug. The game freezes for some time when you retry the current level from either the pause menu or the results screen. At first it's very short, like under a second. But as you keep retrying it increases. It becomes one second, two seconds, three, five, ten and so on(not exact times). At that point quitting to the main menu and selecting the stage there becomes faster. Restarting the game temporarily fixes it.

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.
