About Stop That Roach!

Stop that Roach! is a turn-based strategy game focused on eliminating cockroaches across multiple levels. Players must prevent the insects from either escaping or reaching a designated piece of food, as either outcome results in a lost round.

Each round provides the player with five turns to perform various actions. These include moving a set number of tiles, deploying traps, and using tools like a broom or insecticide. Players can also stomp to scare the roaches or step on them directly. Following the player's turns, the cockroaches act according to specific, predefined rules.

A level is successfully completed only when all cockroaches are either captured or destroyed. The game features a comprehensive tutorial that explains these mechanics in detail.
