The Bug Butcher is an action-packed 2D shoot-em-up where you play as a tenacious exterminator – Harry, decimating bugs in a distant planet – Zoit. The game’s original developer Awfully Nice Studios is collaborating with 2Awesome Studio to bring the pest-control vertical shooter to Nintendo Switch.

The game originally released on PC and consoles in 2016, racking up positive reviews and good feedback. The Bug Butcher is also available on Android and iOS devices, published by Noodlecake Studios.

2Awesome Studi claims of “taking care of bringing every detail to the last sprite to Nintendo’s console.”

“Obviously adding features like local co-op anywhere anytime with a single console and a pair of joy-cons, and online leaderboards.”
