About

Grab your pump-action salt gun: the flies are back, and they brought friends.

SQUATFLY is an original love letter to the 80s and 90s arcade shooting gallery. Flies buzz out of a stinky backyard trash can, you blast them with salt, and your frog sidekick hops in to gobble up every fly you drop. Miss, and he laughs at you. Let one get away and the sky turns pink.

TAP. PUMP. SALT. Your finger is the light gun. Three shells per wave, a combo that climbs to x3, screen shake, splats and crunchy chiptunes. Perfect rounds pay a big bonus. Prefer to aim like the old days? Tilt the phone, or point it at the TV like a real light gun.

72 STAGES 30 bonus stages borrow the feel of classic arcade genres: marching invaders, pipes, run-and-gun, vector rocks, pinball, a haunted gallery, a western quick-draw and many more, all with our own art, names and tunes.

42 PARODY CHANNELS The frog is on the couch flipping channels, and every channel roasts an era: the millennium bug, dial-up, pop-up ads, chain letters, keychain pets, 3 AM TV shopping, the family group chat, unskippable ads, free-to-play gimmicks, terms and conditions, hold music and the meeting that could have been an email. Surf them in order, or catch the Parody of the Day and keep your streak alive.

TV PARTY Put SQUATFLY on a TV, and up to four friends scan a code to turn their phones into light guns. Or mirror or cast your phone to the TV: the game moves to the big screen and your phone becomes the controller.

GAME MODES • Mode 1 and Mode 2: the classic endless run, one fly or two • Swarm: 60-second time attack with unlimited salt • Boss Rush: every boss back to back, tougher each loop • Arcade: every stage back to back, three lives • Channel Surf: the parody channels, one after another • Daily Challenge: the same flies, twists and boss for everyone, every day • 2P Duel: two players, one phone • TV Party: up to four phone light guns on one screen

BOSSES WITH ATTITUDE A buff housefly baron who flexes the salt right off his abs. A vampire mosquito who drinks your juice box. A maggot mama who never stops laying eggs. An armored horsefly tank, a queen who never carried her own sandwich, a dragonfly jet. And at round 100... well, the frog has been eating salty flies for 99 rounds and he has had enough.

COLLECT THE JOKES Hidden gags in the stages, joke medals with silly names, a trophy case of pixel badges you can share, unlockable guns and frog hats, achievements, and a frog who remembers every time you failed.
