Scuttle round a family home as a hungry cockroach, eating every crumb while the humans hunt you with brooms.
More about I Am Roach
I Am Roach puts you in the tiny shoes of a cockroach loose in a family home. Scuttle through the kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedrooms and garage, eating every crumb you can find while the humans hunt you down with brooms. A fish-eye camera makes the house loom huge around you, just as a roach would see it.
Food keeps you alive as well as scoring points. Your hunger bar drains all the time, so you can't just hide. Crumbs, cookies, cheese, pizza and donuts are worth more the tastier they are, and food on high shelves and perches is worth double. Eat again within a few seconds to build a combo of up to five times.
Every so often a glowing power bean appears. Grab it and you sprout wings for ten seconds, the humans panic, and you can dive-bomb them from the air to leave them dizzy for big points.
The house fights back as your score climbs. The humans get faster and swing sooner, your hunger drains quicker, and more of them join the hunt. In multiplayer Party mode up to four roaches share one house, and anyone's power bean scares the humans for everybody.
How to play
- Move with WASD or the arrow keys: up goes forward, left and right turn, and down backs up.
- Space or Shift makes a quick dash.
- While flying, hold down (or S) to land.
- On a phone or tablet, drag anywhere to steer with a floating joystick, and tap the right-hand side of the screen to dash.
You have three lives. A broom slam or an empty hunger bar costs one, and you come back somewhere safe under cover.
Tips
- Chain meals within four seconds to keep your combo climbing.
- Donuts and food on high perches are worth the most.
- Save your power-bean flight for booping humans from the air, which pays out a big bonus multiplied by your combo.
- Duck under furniture to hide when a human spots you. The eye icon shows when you're out of sight.
