About the Game

Welcome, Killbug, to the underbelly of the insect realm, where the skittering masses are caught in an endless battle for dominance.

You threatened them with your power. They clipped your wings and forced you into exile, but it was not enough to sate their hatred. A ravenous ambush awaits, and they want you dead.

Blade and barrel hungry for blood. Thirsty for the sweet nectar of revenge.

You will make them suffer, and from carapace to thorax, they will know pain.



As the Killbug, use your insectoid instincts to dash, double-jump and wall-run your way around the endless arena. Combine these fluid movement mechanics to reach enemies in all areas of this brutal battleground.



Slash and shoot your way through droves of ravenous beasts. From beetles to spiders to a giant larvae monster, there are endless swarms for you to butcher as the Killbug.



Become the master of death as you rise again and again, raining destruction on your foes and aiming for your next high score. Crush those bugs, over and over.
