What players say

Players praise this as a simple, turn-based homage to Earth Defense Force that captures the thrill of mowing down bug hordes with AoE attacks. Reviews consistently note short stages, mouse-only controls, a cockroach mosaic toggle added in an update, and splits on difficulty: normal is relaxed, while harder modes demand careful positioning against instant wipes.
