Pit your thumb-smashing skills against the hordes of roaches that will attack your morsels when their hunger grows. Be aware, though, not all the cockroaches in this game are pushovers (or is that 'squish overs'?) - there are even rumors of irradiated bugs that can cause a bigger risk to your crumbs than simply being eaten. Can you make it to level 50? It will take quick, accurate strikes and strategic targeting to clear the board in more advanced levels.
