This is possibly the most bugged idle game on Newgrounds, and for extra irony, is about squashing video game bugs.
I'm no programmer, but I can't imagine it would be very hard to program an idle game.

Who woulda guessed, a game about squashing bugs is full of bugs?
This game is so riddled with bugs, including one supremely nasty and evil one I ran into. The game hit a bug where it set about a quest to open endless popups to the Android site for the game, which somehow even managed to persist beyond repeated killings of my browser and was a right pain to fix. Not cool!
Aside from that hideously awful bug that hopefully few others have run into and I should certainly hope wasn't intentionally built into the game (I will give that benefit of the doubt)...
- Stuff doesn't do what it says. Only trial-and-error will tell you what stats actually change when you buy any specific upgrade.
- Purchases are weird -- buying one thing increases the price of another, or certain upgrades become infinitely free after a point, and initial prices are high but then go ridiculously cheap after first purchase. There is no reason to any of it.
- Medals fail to award in-game until several minutes after you met the requirement, and then they fail to actually award in your profile after that until a very long time later and/or after buying a bunch of random stuff and/or squishing a bunch of more random bugs. I don't really know. All I know is after doing any of the above, maybe ten minutes later I'd actually have the medal. Rinse and repeat for the majority of medals.
- The game starts eating up a lot of resources which is mostly noticable when you want to close it out and have to wait around.
- You literally have to do everything in one sitting.
SOOO bugged
