Tap or click to swat bugs with your flipflop before they scurry off the screen.
Every bug is worth points. Tough bugs (beetles, snails, centipedes) take more than one whack.
Missing costs you 5 points, so aim, don't spam! A bug that escapes costs you half its value.
When food appears, bugs rush it and start munching. Bash them before the food is gone!
If the food survives, you earn a bonus: the more of it left, the bigger the bonus. If it gets devoured, you lose points.
Reach the target score before time runs out to clear the level. Earn up to three stars!
Ladybugs are friends! Squashing one costs you 40 points. Let them wander.
Flies see you coming! They dart away from a creeping pointer or a close swat. A dodge takes a moment to recover, so follow up fast.
Boss levels (every 5th): squash the boss before the clock hits zero. Bosses heal while they eat and their minions never stop coming. Each boss fights dirty in its own way: minion shields, burrowing, flipflop-snagging webs, blackouts, stink bombs, armoured shells. And when a boss glows red, do NOT hit it, or you'll be stung and stunned!
Wounded bosses get MAD. Below a third of its health a boss goes enraged: glowing hot, twice as fast, calling minions twice as often and cycling its tricks quicker.
