If you ran to the whack-a-mole booth when visiting a favorite arcade or just love to squash insects then Cartoon Roach may be just the game you need.

But you can’t get too crazy because some of them are “good” roaches and squashing them will spell your end. The more roaches you smash earns additional weapons and tools.
