### 5/5 — I like it

*2026-03-22*

how to i get nyarlathotep

### 4/5 — Yeah it’s kinda boring but

*2024-12-26*

It’s just a little repetitive but it’s not even CLOSE to as bad as what that first review said 💀💀 
The bugs are cute but the music is kinda annoying (but you can literally just turn sound fnf so it’s not that bad) 
I wouldn’t play this myself but I can see the fun in it

### 1/5 — What a load of dung!

*2024-01-04*

When I downloaded the game and played for the first few minutes, the only sensation I had felt was numbness, complete, total utter numbness. A numbness so brain draining that I deleted it just moments after the initial download? Let me explain all of the factors that contributed to me loathing this game.
To initiate, for a game that is advertised as a high-stakes arcade experience, the gameplay is mind-numbingly simple and boring. All that you do in the game is tap on gems and gold. Where’s the challenge or fun in brainlessly tapping away at whatever gems and gold enter the screen? And the fact that you’re supposed to be there for a long amount of time mindlessly grinding away to get to the next biome is insulting to my mind. I felt as if I was getting dumber from playing this!!
Another thing to mention was that the power ups that these fictional insects provide don’t even work, and the tapping controls are excruciatingly irresponsive.
To conclude, don’t play this game. It’s another brain-rotting clicker game that pretends to be an arcade game solely designed for the extraction of money from filthy casuals who have no concept of quality whatsoever. I came in expecting to find something of value, but unlike the various gems and gold doubloons that fall into the lava, nothing of value was lost when I deleted this piece of dung for good. This is one of the most regrettable purchases I had ever made in my life, and I now see the reason as to why nobody even bothered with this worthless junk.

### 5/5 — So addictive!

*2015-12-16*

I love this game. lt's a great combo of addictive game play & cool visuals. The bugs are so cute, got to collect them all! 🐞👏🏼

### 5/5 — Deceptively simple fiendishly tricky

*2015-12-12*

If you're tired of playing that well known crystal tapper, give this a try. Simple concept, great graphics, much harder than it seems. Easy to get hooked.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2015-12-10*

Annoyingly addictive!

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2015-12-10*

This game is really easy to get in to with it's simple 'tap on things' gameplay, but don't be fooled, it has just the right amount of difficulty to give you that addictive 'one more go' feeling when you finish a game.

The whole game is really polished too. Especially love the bug designs, haven't collected them all yet, but I'm getting there!
