Description
*** WARNING. DUE TO INTENSE GRAPHICAL AND PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS THE BUG BUTCHER IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR DEVICES WITH LESS THAN 2GB OF RAM. ***
The Bug Butcher is an intense action shooter, wrapped in stylistic 2D art, and smeared with juvenile humor where timing and fierce reflexes are paramount in protecting your fragile squishy body! The gameplay has an extremely simple core mechanic that is easy to understand, but hard to master. Plus, who doesn’t love a universe where you wield a beefy arsenal of military grade weaponry.
The core mechanics hold old ties from the classic arcade shooters, where you shoot vertically, but with modern day twists. You are Harry, a brash and tenacious exterminator who has a knack for decimating bugs.
Harry’s current assignment takes him to the infested futuristic research facility on planet Zoit. The surviving and dwindling number of scientists employed him for his slaughtering skills. Harry’s mission: survive until the decontamination of the building is complete, hoard coins like his life depended on it, and protect the scientists at all costs. Watch out for the spiders as they have a particular fondness for rubber encased scientists. After landing, you will move from room to room through the facility blasting rockets, lasers, and wielding the power of lighting upwards at anything not human.

A very fun challenge game, the controls are decent too
★★★★★
This game is amazing because of the artistic design and the music is sick, and also its good game to play anytime.

Originally a game called Pang... Then years later Buster Bros... Now the Bug Butcher ! A totally hilarious take on a tried and true game structure... Big round alien creatures to kill rather than just pop balloons... Great work and especially the Android port is also great... I bought this game on Steam and I bought it again for my Xperia 5 II... Looks fantastic! Thanks.

Nice graphics and addictive gameplay. I like the game a lot. Unfortunately the controller arrows are too small and too close to each other on my mobile, but it's perfect on my 7-inch tablet (unfortunately there is no cloud save :(). I've also tried the game on my android TV and there are two major problems: 1. The progress is not saved, and I have to start from the beginning every time I start the game. 2. I use PS4 controller and there is no button for dashing. Can you please fix these issues?
★★☆☆☆
I checked your game, although the design is good I can't give you credit for originality because this is definitely ripped off gameplay. Call it a new genre of gaming I don't really care but claiming that your graphics is so amazing that it requires high specs?? Please, don't lie to your community. You know that's a lie. I've seen better, more high performing games that ran better on lower specs. Your game is just badly optimized. Optimize it correctly.
★★☆☆☆
I know now why they named this a "The Bug Butcher" because, there's a lot of bugs/glitches on this game... Developers, please fix the bugs, so we can play this game normally. Thank You.
