Featured Game: The Bug Game!

July 26, 2013 12:07 am

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!

Wow, 400...Subeta must really think users have no life...

I got to 200 or so and the site went bye bye with the cloudflare error XD. I can barely keep up with this site event between dodging thunderstorms and the occasional site error here and there. I'm doing the best I can with no complaints :). Thank you for trying so hard to make Epicon fun for all of us ^_^.

Looks like this'll be the first day I don't maximize my scores. I could easily do the 125 bugs (minus that the score doesn't get sent) but the 400 is beyond me... Oh well, guess I'll just have to hope it's something more up my alley tomorrow ;)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

..I worked hard to get 1100 and it didn't submit my score. :(

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think my eyes, head, neck, shoulder and wrist are telling me this is not something I want to do... ouch. :)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm at 8/10 for the 400 point bonus score. I have to take breaks after each game because it's making my wrist sore. This is kind of a bad idea for the daily game.

Also how much longer is this going to go on? It's starting to get tedious.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The thing I find annoying about this is when a score doesn't submit.. not to mention 500,000 achievement? are you insane? my wrist will fall off. LOL. ;; I can't even catch up with all these long winded achievements.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

After trying it out a few times, 400 is actually pretty easy. The problem is that the game can very easily tire out your wrist and if you are like me, it can also increase stress levels to points where it can make you feel fatigue.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

how long is this daily game stuff going to last... its really piling up now and I don't have time to do quests anymore.. lol

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm sorry, as someone who just got 1017 points on my first try, I have to say I won't be touching this game again.

A. Can kill your mouse. B. Can kill your wrist. C. 400 hits? Really? -.-

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

oh gosh not again i remember during the survival plot i got like... 3000 bugs in a game because I wasn't sure when to stop LOL.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

So, my entire arm is still hurting, after one round of a piddly 125 points. From my wrist to my elbow to my shoulder. If it's still hurting tomorrow, where do I send the medical bills?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ugggh I just lost a score of over 600 :c This is not fun.. and brutal on the wrist holy crap.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm gonna say that 400 is incredibly steep since it's a very tiring game to play, especially for the eyes since the bugs are quite small so yes, eye strain + possibly hand pains can be gotten from this game. I'm not sure about the latter but my eyes are definitely incredibly sore after playing it twice :P

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

There was a problem submitting your score. Please try again.If you believe this is in error, click the cancel button to try again.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It doesn't load for me on Firefox or on Google Chrome.

It doesn't load for me on Firefox or on Google Chrome.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Half the time the game does not load...is anyone else having this problem?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I enjoy this game, but isn't 400 a little overkill (excuse the pun) for a bonus? We've had bonuses given out for FAR easier things (read: WINNING a simple logic puzzle). I understand bonuses are for those who want to go above and beyond, but I have maxed out my points every. single. day. But I'm seriously considering not doing this. I made it to somewhere just over 350 bugs in the first game before my wrist was hurting. I can't imagine trying to break 400 TEN times.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I love the sound effects HAHAH but yes I agree bring down the score to get for the bonus, seems a bit to high

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Fuuuu this game is killer on the wrist and arm...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Another hard-to-get sticker prize. What is with you guys and making stickers achievement prizes lately?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This game us really killing my wrist I wish the score needed for the bonus was a bit lower.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well awesome that I got 2525 bugs on my iPad, and I figured after I'd stop that it would pop up an error. I. Also print screened my game... I I send that into the staff.. Can they fix my score?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

So, uh, the mobile version? Definitely does not work. At all.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

All done with this. Wrist now needs to be iced. :/ However now I see that the cumulative achievement isn't working. It only counted the first game I played.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Are you fucking kidding. Four-hundred. That is not just ridiculous, but actually physically dangerous. After one round I think I have carpel tunnel. TEN TIMES?

Change it change it change it cave to public pressure we know you will so change it already!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Very fun game, but error sending score.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

That's not nice. Played it one time and no further scores will send. Tells me I've "played it recently". Could we at least get one of those nifty "reminders" so I know when I CAN play it again and send another score for the points? I hate the game and am only going to play it enough for scores but as I have tenosynovitis is my wrist, I won't even attempt the higher end for extra points. It hurts enough playing it the times I've already tried.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ugh, this is an annoying game...it hurts too much with all that nonstop clicking. This is one game I will not play, At least I got every single point so far in EPICon.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Lots of bugs in this game (Pun not intended!) Mostly to do with score sending. I played 4 times and got over 400 each time, however 2 of those failed to send

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This bites! Stressful and not fun, no luck whatsoever.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

So delightfully disgusting! :D Perfect for the summer and all the RL bug squashing I have been doing.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

So um I got over 500 and it register at 498 then i think i can play again and i got 612, however the 612 does not register, is something wrong with this game?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

this game creeps me out :(

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I take it back about the reset...I don't really think it was cloud flair now, not sure if it was my clicking that did it or something else?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

ugh I hope the problems are fixed soon. I was happy I got over 400 on my first try but it didn't send the score :c

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

loser at 42wentysomething. cry

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think my fingers now officially hate you... better get some aspirin and ice packs ready.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

my game did reset as well around 355 :(

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I agree with I'll wait till the morning to play my games c:

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

So when we lose the game the page instantly reloads to creepy-ass Bug Guy Joe? Some of these zombies scare the bajeezus out of me.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think I'll wait till morning to see if things are more stable ;)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

, yes it happened to me....I think it had to do with the cloud flair thing, tho

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ah no. Love the games but between working full time and all the glitches I don't have time to play them all. :( whimper

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I scored over 500 and my score was "eaten" by an error.

This isn't even a new game, I'm surprised to see errors with it.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

So I died at 396. eye twitches Well at least I got this:

Achievement Earned! Are You Not Entertained?!

Yay Gladiator! :D

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Is there an app for it or something? It won't load on my ipod /:

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I was at around 300 and still playing, then the game reset itself? Anyone else have this happen?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ok now i have tr&;ed on the ipad and it is a bit easier, in that only one finger is hurting instead of my whole wrist :( i'm glad the bonus will be for one day only (i hope??? Please no repeat days for this one!)
