User Reviews

The Bug Butcher is praised for its addictive gameplay, appealing graphics, and overall polished experience. However, multiple users report issues with touch controls being poor and buttons too small or mispositioned. Controller support, particularly for PS4 controllers, is lacking important functionality like dashing, frustrating players. Bugs causing freezing and glitches, especially when retrying levels, are frequent complaints. Additionally, the absence of button customization and cloud saving features detracts from the experience. Despite these problems, the game remains well-liked for its concept and fun arcade shooter mechanics.

Excellent game. Game play could be better if we could adjust buttons placement as I find it difficult to play with my big fingers.

Really fun game with good graphics. The progression system is a little basic, but does not detract from the overall enjoyment. The biggest issue is the controls. For a game that relies on reflexes and speed, it's annoying when your finger slips from a button or you don't hit a button square to trigger it. The solution should be to enable game pads, but my PS4 controller does not work and from research, others experience similar issues with other pads. Shame.
