Crush the Critters is a game of whack-a-mole for your feet (using the dance pad), your mouse or your keyboard (you cheater!).<br />
<br />
<h1>The first beta is live!</h1>
The game has entered the first beta, which is just the Classic Mode. Some graphics still need polishing up, the sounds aren't complete, but that's what these early betas are for :) The game works, and will at least give you an idea of what's coming. Also please note that the game is more or less for kids, particularly at this stage without the humor of Adventure mode. <strong>Also please note that the game is shrunken quite a bit because of the size of the webpage!</strong> For full size play and to become an official beta tester, go to <a href="http://www.hedonismgames.com/beta/index.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.hedonismgames.com/beta/index.html</a><br />
<br />
<h1>Instructions</h1>
Click the critters as they come out before they can hide again! You can also use keyboard keys, although it makes the game much easier. They are (corresponding to the screen squares)<br />

<h1>A Foot-Tastic Adventure!</h1>
As the resident Critter Stomper, your hometown has been overcome by the imminent threat of an onslaught of cute critters! It's up to you, moving from your own town, through numerous locales and ultimately into outer space to stop the critters!<br />
<br />
Using the typical dance pad 3x3 grid (with the exception of the middle square, of course), the player must stomp on critters as they appear on the screen. <br />
<br />
In classic RPG sense, collect equipment (shoes, socks, shoe laces and aglets - you know, those little things that cap the end of your shoe laces?), level up and collect money through bounties and successful missions crushing the cute-but-monstrous critters.<br />
<br />
Play is best with the dance pad, although the entire game can also be played with the mouse (great for <span style="font-size: 16px;">Wii players</span>) or the keyboard.<br />
<br />
<h1>Classic Mode</h1>
Classic mode is just like in the arcades! Play a quick round, choosing where to crush the critters, which ones to crush, how long to play and the difficulty. When done, collect your tickets, which can be used to purchase bonuses (cheats, artwork, etc.) or printable rewards!<br />
<br />
<h1>Awwwww... So Cute!</h1>
Crush the Critters has a fantastic artist - <a href="/user/Ariel" class="developer_link">Ariel Marsh</a> - who is handling all the great, cartoony style of the game.<br />
<br />
<h1>Printable Rewards</h1>
Printable Rewards are one of the greatest things about Crush the Critters! Why just let the game sit when you're done when you can print out all sorts of things, showing off your accomplishments? <br />
<br />
<h1>Other Features</h1>
Other great features of the game will include:<br />
