✨ BUGSQUISH(6) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Games Manual section, we're doing bugsquish today and honestly? it's giving arcade cabinet energy but make it mouse. 💅

NAME 💖

bugsquish — bugs are trying to suck blood out of your arm! 😭🦟

not me being dramatic, that's literally the tagline. the bugs. the arm. the blood. it's a whole thing.

SYNOPSIS 🦋

bugsquish [--disable-sound] [--fullscreen] [--low] | [--help | --usage]

DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so real talk: this manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. no cap. instead, it has documentation in /usr/share/doc/bugsquish/README.txt.gz — so if you want the ✨lore✨, that's where it lives, bestie.

"Bug Squish" is an action game not unlike light gun arcade games, but played with a mouse. periodt. 🖱️🔥

OPTIONS 👑

  • --disable-sound — if sound support was compiled in, this will disable it for this session of the game. just this one session, so your vibes are temporary, not permanent. 🔇
  • --fullscreen — run in fullscreen mode. main character energy, full immersion, no distractions. 🖥️✨
  • --low — disable some features so that the game might run better on low-end hardware. specifically: Titlescreen ballons and game backgrounds are disabled, and the game screen refreshes every 1/15th of a second instead of 1/30th of a second. it's giving potato-laptop-friendly. 🥔🫶
  • --help — display a help message summarizing command-line options, copyright, and game controls. iykyk, when in doubt, ask for help. 🙈
  • --usage — display a brief message summarizing command-line options. brief. quick. a lil snack of info. 🍓

Quitting 🎀

to quit the current game, you can press [ESCAPE]. that's it. that's the escape hatch. slam it and dip. 🏃♀️💨

AUTHOR 💜

this manual page was written by Christian T. Steigies <cts@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). iconic of them honestly. 🌈

⭐ tiny reminder bestie: the original program doesn't ship a manpage, so this one is the Debian special. go read /usr/share/doc/bugsquish/README.txt.gz for the deep lore.

and that's the whole page!! this version came from the BUGSQUISH(6) page in the Games Manual, dated March 13, 2005. slay, go squish some bugs. 🦟💅🔥
