Insect Intruders

Swarms of creepy-crawlies are pouring in and your trigger finger is the only thing standing between them and your screen.

Your first bug appears three seconds after you hit play, a fat beetle that scuttles straight for the middle of the screen. You panic, mash the fire key, and it explodes in a satisfying green splat. Then the real swarm shows up. What keeps me coming back is the wave design. You'll learn to hate the little gnats — they zip in weird zigzags and steal your focus while the big cockroaches tank shots. There's a rhythm to it: pick off the flies, wait for the next cluster, reposition, then unload. It feels like an old-school arcade cabinet squeezed into your browser. It's not a game that requires strategy guide note-taking. You point, you shoot, you survive as long as you can. But that's the charm. I've lost afternoons chasing a higher score, and I regret nothing. If you need a break from complicated RPGs, this is a perfect palate cleanser.

Use keys or touch the screen to play.

Aim for the big bugs first, they split into smaller ones if you wait. Keep moving sideways to dodge their dive attacks. Save your special shots for the later waves. Lead your shots slightly when bugs are moving diagonally. Watch the edges of the screen, that's where the next wave spawns.
