Read full description

BUG DROP is a super-simple bullet-hell shooter where you control a fighter jet with just one finger and shoot down falling bugs. Enjoy smooth auto-fire shooting, but one hit from enemy bullets means game over. Your dodging decisions and positioning determine your score. Features One-finger control: just drag to move Auto-fire: focus on aiming and dodging Weapon level-up: higher scores increase bullet count Unique attack patterns: flies, spiders, roaches, and centipedes swarm you with bullets Rankings (Top 20): challenge yourself again and again for the highest score Quick to play, but hard to stop once you start. Test your reflexes here.
