Featured Game: The Bug Game!

While we continue our world tour of featured games, why don't we revisit a game from the darkest corner of Shadowglen, The Bug Game. Simply named and deceptively simple to play, can you swat your way to another 10 EPICon points? The owner of the game (as much as you can own a bit of rock and a jar of bugs, I suppose) says that if you can get in 400 hits before 5 bugs manage to slip away, there are bonus EPICon points in it for you! And if these bugs are too close for comfort, you may enjoy the mobile version of this game! I'm having a lot of fun playing on my Tangerine Touchphone.

Don't forget, you can earn extra points every day by playing our previously featured games. Seashell Spotter, Subeku, Stealth Bomber, Ziara Raceway, and Divine Discs will each award an additional 10 points to your total!

Today is the final day to get your submissions for the Cosplay Contest! For those wanting to enter, make sure you get it done by the end of the day, because once registration closes, it closes for good!

This event is hard work. Haha...oooooh, my score at the end is going to be so paltry and I'll have no one to blame but myself.

I really hate to post again, but if I send in my screenshot of my score from last night, can you please fix my score to 2525?

400 for the bonus points might be a little high. I only reached it once out of ten tries.

Achievement Earned! Are You Not Entertained?! No, not amused at all - I hate those wildly-clicking games with a passion. They are so not for me. No way I can hit 400! On top of it the cockroaches look so natural, it's disgusting to play. :)

dont you think 500k for the last achievement is a little extreme since we can only play this game once an hour. 50k would be more realistic. Is this event going to last several months because thats what it would take to reach 500k? Ive done 2 games and scored over 1k for each game and Im only at 2,065/2,500 and no one can play 24 games a day.

I'm just confused as to why you brought this back :p the game was such an issue in the plot that you eventually allowed people to bypass it completely by just paying some sP...so why would you make this part of ANOTHER event?

Oh, subeta. So silly

I swear, making this game load takes longer than the game itself :/ Done for today (with bonus rounds, my wrist is dead now), please don't extend this! D:

Half the time the game doesn't load, no mute button, the score wouldn't submit the one time I did play, boring and stressful as fuck at the same time...

Not even bothering with this one.

Hmmm... Can't it be that for today's featured game lifts the hourly wait? It's not nice to wait for long (1hr?) to accumulate all the bugs. >_< Particularly when this game kills the arm.

This game keeps either freezing or not accepting my score. Big disappointment when I got 719 points and it wouldn't submit. Is there a solution in the works?

  3. can we get an alert please?
  4. I'd like to buy a bigger swatter please

My only problem with this game is the wait. I can't be on subeta every hour on the hour, and I'm sure there are lots of other users who can't either.

Played once score went through. Played around and it did not. :( I don't want to keep killing my wrist in the hope it will go through. :(

Just tried this. It's OK but when my wrist starting hurting I just gave up and let the bugs go so the game would end. Don't think I could play 10 games and still be able to use my right hand.

This game would be more enjoyable if there were a slight gap between certain levels; as it is it's just one relentless bash-fest and it's extremely tiring. goes to take a break

squished 1200 bugs and theres a problem submitting, ugh. so what, can we only gain our points/cumulative ever hour or something? a reminder for when the times up would be nifty is that's the case.

Just discovered that we can play once every hour for sP and additions to the cumulative score. It's ridiculous having a cumulative score of 100K with that arrangement. Why couldn't it be 10 times a day like the other arcade games so people who can't be on all day every day have a chance to get the achievement within their lifetimes?

you have a cumulative score of 500,000 and if we can only get points for 1 game a day. how are we going to reach 500k.

Since I work full time it's nearly impossible to play for 10 wins on all these games every night. Wish I had more time.

Got over thousand points and only got an error message instead of successfully submitting my scores. :D Not fun.

I was going nuts trying to place the music. Finally tracked it down - it's part of Scott Joplin's The Entertainer. I'm now trying to track down the interval between games so we get sP and cumulative score points.

I get a score of over 1k and I dont get credit for it. Thats really nice considering this game kills a persons arms. Why cant things work right around here.

My first score was totally screwed up, I got the 400 and it didn't give me credit. And now it says that I played recently so I can play just for fun.

So unless they fix it, I guess I just can't play this game!!!!! Which is really unfair!!!!!!!!

It keeps telling me I've played recently so can only play for fun now. Does anyone know how long the interval is before we can play for sP and addition to the cumulative score?

News comments are always hilarious xD Someone always has to be unhappy. I dont care for the game, so I just play the ones I do. Maybe I wont get as many points, but with subeku/shell/discs/bomber I am sure Ill have a good bit. And srsly guys, I have a touch pad, I play click games just fine. You just have to know how to use it right. [aka use one hand on button for clicking and one on the touch/mouse for moving] Aint that hard yo :U

I got my 10 regular points but my wrist and elbow are already kind of sore. And I mean, I'm a heavy gamer but this kind of clicking is ridiculous. :(

I like this game, but 400 probably won't happen because of my touch pad laptop mouse. Thanks for the game anyway though ^-^
