Birthday, big cake, family. Sounds beautiful, isn’t it? But what can go wrong?
TONS of CHERNOBYL insects appear from dirty dishes, that’s what can happen!

Can you protect a birthday party and family’s cake from insects and keep good relationships with your family members?

Destroy all insects, protect your cake and relationships! Good luck.

Controls:
Left Mouse Button - attack insects or activate/deactivate family members

Mechanic:
The main goal is to survive insects invasion by killing all of them and protect the cake.
The cake has some health, but it cannot stand attacks for very long, so do your best and try to keep insects away from it!
To attack insects - hover the mouse over them and press LMB (click).
Every single hit - 1 click.

Enemies:
Ant has 1 health, so one click will destroy it.
Fly has 2 health, 2 clicks required.
The cockroach has 3 health, logical to assume 3 clicks required to kill it.
Centipede... Well, let's keep it in secret :wink: But prepare yourself to click a lot if you want him to die!

Family members:
Each family member can help you with killing insects, you just need to activate a member by clicking on him/her.
They have their own zones where they deal a damage.
But be aware, with time your family members will lose their mood, so be ready to deactivate them in time (by clicking on them again).
So, you need to balance their help and their mood if you want them to be happy at the end of the game.
They have 3 stages: happy, okay and sad. Don't let them be sad :(
Family members are good helpers, but don't expect them to do all the dirty job for yourself!
