Squish the pests. Spare the friends. How fast are your fingers? Cockroaches, mosquitoes, scorpions and tarantulas are scurrying across your screen, and it's your job to stop them. Tap to smash every pest before it gets away. But watch out: ladybugs, bees, butterflies and the other good bugs are just passing through. Squish one of them and you'll pay for it. TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Arcade: You have three lives. Lose one when a pest escapes or you squish a friend. The bugs speed up the longer you last. • Zen: Smash as many pests as you can in 60 seconds. There are no lives to lose, but every friend you squish costs 2 points. 17 BUGS TO KNOW • 9 pests to smash: cockroaches, bed bugs, mosquitoes, flies, termites, silverfish, centipedes, scorpions and tarantulas. • 8 friends to let go: ladybugs, ants, bees, butterflies, dragonflies, mantises, grasshoppers and frogs. • Mosquitoes, flies and silverfish are quick, so they're worth 2 points. SATISFYINGLY GROSS Every smash leaves a splat of guts behind, and the mess builds up as you play. When it gets to be too much, grab a cloth or a paper towel and wipe your screen clean. COMPETE • Climb the Game Center leaderboards for Arcade and Zen. • Beat your own best score in each mode. MADE FOR EVERY SCREEN • Plays great on iPhone and iPad, with layouts that fill the whole screen. • Adapts to iPhone Duo, whether it's closed, open or half-folded. • Squish sounds and haptics you can feel. Turn the sound off any time. Bug Smasher is free to play with ads. A one-time Remove Ads purchase takes them away for good.
