Retro Swatter
Defend the picnic. A retro bug-swatting arcade game for iPhone.
Drag anywhere to steer your swatter. It swings on its own, so your job is to be in the right place: flies, ants, beetles, mosquitoes, crickets and cockroaches are all heading for your sandwich. Level up, build a combo of upgrades, evolve them into something ridiculous, and survive until the Queen arrives.
One thumb, no joystick
Drag anywhere. The swatter swings on a rhythm; you just aim.
Build and evolve
Nine upgrades and four evolutions, from bug spray to a squad of frogs.
Daily Challenge
A new seeded run with a twist every day. Keep your streak alive.
No ads, no tracking
One price, nothing else. The game collects no data at all.

Where is my progress saved?
On your iPhone only. Crumbs, perks, unlocked swatters, best scores and daily streaks are stored on the device and are not uploaded anywhere.
Will I lose my progress if I delete the app?
Yes. Because progress lives only on your device, deleting the app removes it. It is included in your regular iPhone backups, so restoring a backup brings it back.
How do I start over?
Open Settings in the game and tap Reset Progress.
Why did my sandwich lose health when I swatted?
Swatting the plate squashes your own sandwich. Aim just outside the plate to clear bugs that have landed on it. The plate glows red when your swat would hit it.
What do lucky ladybugs do?
They're rare and fast. Catch one in a swat to restore some food and earn an extra reroll.
Can I turn off the music, sounds or vibration?
Yes, each has its own switch in the game's Settings. The game also respects your iPhone's silent switch and the Reduce Motion accessibility setting.
