Stop That Roach! (GB)

In the game Stop That Roach! for the Game Boy Color, players embark on an uncompromising battle against pesky cockroaches trying to invade and spoil precious food supplies. Your primary objective is to protect the food from contamination by these unwelcome guests.

The gameplay of Stop That Roach! focuses on a combination of quick reflexes and strategic thinking. On the screen, you'll see an area containing food and multiple spawn points for roaches. Your task is to use the provided tools to stop them. The main tools include the ability to draw lines or create temporary walls to block the roaches' path. You might also have various traps or special items to eliminate them directly.

Each level will have a certain number of roaches that need to be prevented from reaching the food. When a roach touches the food, you'll lose points or a portion of your "life." The game becomes progressively more challenging with each level, featuring an increased number of roaches, faster movement speeds, and more complex paths. This requires players to quickly analyze the situation, draw precise lines, and place traps promptly. Sometimes, you'll need to prioritize eliminating the most dangerous roaches or those closest to the objective.

The control system in Stop That Roach! is simple and easy to grasp, perfectly suited for the Game Boy Color. You'll use the directional pad to move the cursor and action buttons to draw or activate traps. Success in the game depends on your ability to anticipate the roaches' movements and build effective "defenses." This is an engaging action-puzzle game that offers challenging hours of entertainment.
