The Bug Butcher - A Space Pest Control Game
The Bug Butcher is an action-packed 2D side-scrolling shoot em up game developed by Noodlecake Studios. The game is available on Play Station 4 and falls under the Action subcategory of Games. In this game, you play as Harry, a tenacious exterminator with a knack for decimating bugs. Harry's mission is to survive until the decontamination of the futuristic research facility on planet Zoit is complete, hoard coins, and protect the scientists at all costs.
The core mechanics of the game hold old ties from the classic arcade shooter "Super Pang" where you shoot vertically, but with modern-day twists. You will move from room to room through the facility blasting rockets, lasers, and wielding the power of lighting upwards at anything not human. The game features ferocious waves of bugs of every size that will attempt to kill you, but luckily there will be weapon and health pick-ups to aid Harry on his quest. The game also features nightmarish bosses and real personality, making it a perfect platforming game for those who love humor and grotesquely cute art.
