Awfully Nice Announces Bug Butcher Release Date!

Awfully Nice Studios, made up by former Blizzard employees Rainer Zoettl and Till Aschwanden, have a game coming out! The Bug Butcher is a shoot-’em-up with only one rule; you can only fire straight up. It’s waves of bugs, turning to smaller and smaller bugs as you hit them, making a total mess of the ceiling. As the mayhem progresses, you’ll have to avoid everything that drips down…

Inspired by games like Super Buster Bros., The Bug Butcher will feature 30 levels of assaults in either single or cooperative modes. The more you play, the more upgrades in either clothes or weapons you get; you’ll need to upgrade that arsenal to make the otherwise challenging levels a bit easier on you.

The Bug Butcher looks to scratch that indie arcade itch, with great humor and an awesome art style to boot. Priced at $7.99, The Bug Butcher is coming to Windows, Mac, and Linux on January 19th. Hopefully, it’ll be ported to consoles in the near future!
