Squish

Squish is quite simply the most addictive game for the Vic we've seen for ages. And it's quite a simple game too. You have to move a spider-like character around in a maze of what looks like frog-spawn squashing bugs!

You push the "frog-spawn" around, Pengo-fashion, to kill off the bugs which inhabit the screen, squashing them against the walls or between the "spawn".

But the bugs have a sting in their tails. They can shoot bug-bombs at you if you let them get an empty space between them and you.

The game has 20 difficulty levels, each harder than the first.

On some the bugs are invisible - which is nasty as contact with them is fatal.

The graphics are up to standard for the Vic and the game - as we've said already - is extremely addictive. A worthwhile buy for game-starved Vicsters everywhere.
