Gameplay

The player controls the eponymous "silverfish", which must destroy hordes of other stylized alien bugs.[2] The player is totally weaponless and must touch energy orbs that explode on contact, destroying all the enemies in the vicinity.[2] There are 3 play modes, Reaper, Scavenger and Onslaught.[2] In the first, enemies mimic the player's movements.[2] In the second, enemies follow preset patterns on screen, while in the last, there is a wider array of enemies and the player only gets a small number of lives.[2]

Reception

The game received positive reception from critics, with an aggregate score of 83/100 on Metacritic.[1]

Levi Buchanan of IGN rated the game 85/100, calling the game a "shooter-dodger-exploder" and saying that it was a "fantastic twitch game for your iPhone".[3]

Keith Andrew of Pocket Gamer gave the game 80/100 and Pocket Gamer's silver award, calling it "intense" and "challenging", and recommending it for people who liked twitch-style games.[2]

Kristan Reed of Eurogamer also rated the game 80/100, saying it was a twist on Geometry Wars 2's Pacifism mode, saying the game was "excellent" but held back by "minor design quirks".[4]
