Crushing Creepy Crawlies

April 1, 2011 4:45 AM

Freaky Friday Flash Fun, Flatting Flies: Insectonator is a top-down shooter. Well, "shooter" is a stretch; this is more of "stomp, drop things, overkill with naplam" attack on pretty much every homeowner's nightmare: a bunch of crawly bugs in the dark that avoid the flashlight. The bugs don't shoot back, so the game is just an endurance test by the player. And there are two awards for actually sticking around long enough. Weapons include a rock, your boot, various guns (including sniper rifles), rocket launchers, an anvil, naplam, and finally, a nuclear weapon. Via the ever excellent Jay Is Games.

Had to come back in there to say thanks, Old'n'Busted. Fun little mindless game that helped make yesterday at work a lot more bearable.

You can actually get yourself killed.

Too much fun!

How do you get 10 at once with the anvil?

Doh! Not 10 at once, 10 total. Had to stop, because of a bug (ha!), I got stuck with level running, and no weapon.
