Squish!

Graphics and sound are adequate for the job-in-hand in this creepy crawly-crushing fiesta. You are a blue cross set in a white screen: by pushing green-outlined pebbles around, you get to mash bugs - if you manage to catch them against something solid. Of course, these purple insects move about searching for you, spit deadly arrows and are perfectly capable of shifting stones themselves.

So you will need to be pretty quick and cute to rub them out and preserve your own hide. Not a lot more to say except that the game is original, enjoyable and not a doddle. Eminently playable, with twenty levels and the promise that the bugs become invisible on the real toughies.
