About The Bug Butcher
The Bug Butcher is a 2D side-scrolling shooter in which you play Harry, a brash exterminator sent to an infested research facility on the planet Zoit. The surviving scientists hire him to protect them until the building’s decontamination is complete. You move from room to room, shooting upwards at swarms of bugs while collecting coins and keeping the scientists alive.
Fight the infestation
Bugs attack in ravenous swarms and waves, with enemies of every size and spiders that target the scientists and their rubber-encased equipment. You use rockets, lasers and lightning, and can collect weapon and health pickups to help you survive. Power-ups add to Harry’s firepower as you face the infestation.
Arcade-style combat
The shooting draws on the classic arcade game Super Pang, with modern twists. The game also features platforming, grotesquely cute art, humor and nightmarish bosses.
