Silverfish is an action game developed and published by Canadian indie studio Chaotic Box and released on November 9, 2010 for iOS.[1]

It received positive reception from critics, who praised its design and graphics.

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 "favorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[1]

Levi Buchanan of IGN called the game a "shooter-dodger-exploder" and said that it was a "fantastic twitch game for your iPhone".[5] Keith Andrew of Pocket Gamer called it "intense" and "challenging", and recommended it for people who liked twitch-style games.[2] Kristan Reed of Eurogamer said it was a twist on Geometry Wars 2's Pacifism mode, saying the game was "excellent" but held back by "minor design quirks".[3]
