About the Game

Ever had a cockroach crawl across your face? Now imagine three. No, six. Make it a dozen.

In Bugged Out, insects don't just attack you — they leap onto your face, overwhelm your vision, and force you to violently shake your mouse to throw them off before panic takes over.

But you're a pest exterminator. No — THE best exterminator. And you're dead serious about this job. 

After all, it's the only thing you're actually good at.

Killing bugs.

Dodge, spray and survive your way through relentless infestations with powerful spray gun, heavy-duty extermination gear, and ridiculous upgrades — including face moisturizer that helps bugs slide off easier when you shake them away (yes, really).

From cockroaches and mantises to locusts, spiders and worse, you'll take on increasingly dangerous jobs across your neighborhood as the infestation spirals out of control.

But something smells fishy. Bugs don't normally behave like this. They've become aggressive. Persistent. Almost coordinated. An infestation this massive shouldn't even be possible. And you're going to find out.

But right now? It's bug-hunting time!

... as long as they're not hunting you instead.
