**Update: Sonic Boom submitted Kill All Bugs to Apple (6/19). Oh, the anticipation!
I really hate bugs. Indiana Jones hated rats and snakes, but he had a bullwhip to put those critters at bay. I have a fly swatter and a rusty can of bug spray underneath my kitchen sink.
Well, even if you don't hate bugs, you'll find it extremely hard to pass up a truly remarkable iPhone/iPod Touch game coming out called Kill All Bugs. Published by Sonic Boom and developed by Bight Games, Kill All Bugs helps us bug haters conquer our fear.
Kill All Bugs is a tower defense/RTS hybrid game that pays homage to B-movies, and promises real insect AI. Players are dropped into a frenzied battle to save humanity from mutant bugs. Construct a gauntlet to keep insects at bay, with access to a slew of heavy weapons, high tech defenses and air strikes. Kill All Bugs will be available [soon] for $3.99 in the App Store.
