Bug Buster

Bug Buster was one of those games you'd find on a Flash portal in the early 2000s. It fit right in with the simple, quick games you played in a browser window. The goal was straightforward, and it didn't ask for much time or thought, which was part of its appeal during that era.

You control a small cursor, usually a hand or a tool, moving it across the screen to squash bugs as they appear. The main objective is to eliminate all the insects before they overrun the space. You click on them quickly, sometimes dealing with different types that require multiple hits or move in unpredictable patterns. The pace starts slow but gradually increases, making you react faster as more bugs spawn. It feels like a constant, slightly frantic race against the clock.
