## What is Slappy Bug?

Human versus bug: the epic battle that's been waged for millennia!  

Scores of hungry mosquitoes are heading your way, and the only thing on their mind is drinking your blood.  With your best slapping skills, you just might be able to survive the onslaught with some of your platelets present.   Take special care to avoid the diseased skeeters, or you'll be getting woozy fast.  Make sure to eliminate breeding zones along the way or you'll be overrun!
