About

Last Mantis

Features

THE GARDEN IS FULL OF BUGS. YOU ARE THE LAST MANTIS. They come from every side: maggots, beetles, wasps, spiders. You run, you strike, you grow. And when the pack closes in, you stop time. STOP TIME, THEN CUT Fill the blue bar with kills. Tap it whenever you want and the world freezes. Now draw your path with your finger: curves, loops, hooks, straight through the thickest part of the swarm. Let go and the mantis races along your line and tears apart everything on it. GROW WITH EVERY LEVEL Collect crystals, pick from three cards after every wave. Orbs that circle you. Chain lightning. A swarm of flies that becomes fireflies, then wasps. A shadow that strikes behind your back. Longer arms, sharper blades, a wider swath. MOLT INTO SOMETHING WORSE At the right moment you shed your skin. Become the ice mantis and freeze what touches you, or the fire mantis and leave a burning trail behind. Your old shell stays behind as bait. TEN LEVELS, THEN ENDLESS Every level has its own ground, its own bugs and its own final wave. Stars you earn make the next mantis stronger from the start. After level ten it never stops. NO ACCOUNT. NO LOGIN. Your progress stays on your device. How long does the last mantis last?
