What players say
Players call Bug Blast a fun but simple arcade shooter from a student project. They praise the laser as the go-to weapon and note a steep difficulty spike, especially with the final boss. Criticisms include too few maps and poor controls, with some finding the twin-stick aiming unresponsive and one player reporting motion sickness.
