Another advertisement before the next game starts. This isn’t exaggerating… this is a literal accounting of the first 5 mins of this game. More advertisements than game time. ### 1/5 — Incomparable to the original *2023-07-14, version 2.8* Theres levels instead of infinite, the smashed bugs dont stay on the screen, and theres ads. ### 1/5 — Terrible app due to ads *2023-06-11, version 2.5* I downloaded the app for my kid to play something simple but each time I tried to start I had to keep clicking the X button on a ad and then done and then X again to get rid of 1 ad but I had to do it 2-3 times and by the time I’m finished the game already says game over I click restart and it does the ads again which cause me to die before ever starting the game terrible design and too many ads can’t even test the app but it’s off to a terrible start ### 1/5 — Ads *2023-06-01, version 2.5* Blasted with ads as soon as the game opened. Then less than 10 seconds into the game and one gets blasted with ads again. Deleted ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best game ever *2026-06-11, version 3.2.1* Too good to be true, yet it is true. I could not think of a better game to play than this when bored. ### 5/5 — This is the best game I ever played I’ve been an og since 2015 on my moms old iPhone *2025-09-25, version 3.0.4* I’ve been an og fan since 2015 on my moms old iPhone I absolutely love this game it helps me stim!!! ### 5/5 — I love this game !!! *2025-09-16, version 3.0.4* Please read, I feel like you should add an option where you can adjust the bugs speed and color, and size, other than that it’s SO GOOD! Love this game, this game is also great for your cats, since cats chase rats, but instead of rats it’s bugs! But yeah, good game. ### 5/5 — Okay *2025-08-07, version 3.0.4* Okay ### 5/5 — bug *2025-06-12, version 3.0.4* 🐜🐞🐛🪲🪳🦗🐝🕷️🦂 ### 5/5 — Haha *2025-05-10, version 3.0.4* My kids love it ### 5/5 — Really good *2024-12-21, version 3.0.1* My bearded Dragon loves it and me too! ### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER *2024-11-27, version 3.0.1* THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER IN THE WHOLE WORLD MY NANA HAD THIS GAME BEFOR AND SHE LOVED IT AND I THINK I WILL LOVE IT WHEN I GET TO THE GRASS PARTS MY NANA IS PLAYING IT NOW AGAIN AND SHE IS AT THE GRASS PARTS AND IT IS SUPER DUPER FUN AND I THINK THAT THIS IS A FUN GAME IF YOU WANT TO SMASH SOME BUGS AND IF YOU HAVE A CAT YOU CAN GET IT ON A TABLET OR BIG SCREENED DEVICES AND YOUR CAT WILL LOVE IT IF SHE OR HE PLAYS IT AND IT CAN KEEP YOUR CAT SUPER DUPER BESY AND I THINK THAT THE GAME IDEA IS KINDA GROSS BUT I LIKE SMOOSHING BUGS BECAUSE I HATE EVERY BUG EXCEPT BUTTER FLYS AND LADYBUGS AND I MOSTLY HATE THE STINGING BUGS BUT HONEY BEES ARE NOT THAT BAR BUT I DONT LIKE IT IF THEY STING ME ### 5/5 — e *2024-10-30, version 3.0.1* a classic bug smashing game CLASSIC ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-10-27, version 3.0.1* Classic game still fun. Simple gameplay with a few interesting bugs, just hard enough to keep you on your toes but not enough to make you not want to play. Multiple game modes keep the game fresh. I would say “just one more level” but it was never enough. I just couldnt put it down. My wife left with the kids because she said i cared more about smashing bugs than raising a family. Got fired from my job but now i own my own pest extermination business and i owe it all to bug smash. Thank you. 5 stars --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
