Memento Muscae

Every fly has last words.

Memento Muscae is a fast, silly tapping game with a philosophical twist. Swat as many flies as you can in 20 seconds. As each one meets its end, it shares a final thought from history's great minds: Nietzsche, Seneca, Shakespeare, Confucius, Emily Dickinson, Mark Twain and more than 160 others.

Then it keels over, and its little ghost floats away wearing a halo.

FEATURES • 100 philosophical flies to collect — Existential Flyto, Stoic Flytaire, Absurdist Camuzz and friends, in top hats, crowns, capes, tutus, monocles and googly eyes • More than 600 last words, from ancient philosophers to famous deathbed one-liners • In Memoriam: after every round, read the collected wisdom of everyone you swatted • Golden flies worth 5 points • Power-ups: the Giant Swatter and Slow-Mo • Three difficulty levels, each with its own high score • The Fly Guide, an album of every kind of fly you've swatted • 36 absurd splat sounds — boings, gongs, slide whistles, sad trombones and a dial-up modem • No ads. No accounts. No data collected. Works offline.

"Then am I a happy fly, if I live, or if I die." — William Blake

The swatter never tires, learns from every miss, and gets a little better each round. The flies, meanwhile, wrote the poems, asked the big questions and left the last words. They had a good run.

Remember the fly.
