Whac-A-Critter

Developer: Unknown

Whac-A-Critter is a frantic, reflex-driven arcade-style experience tailored for quick bursts on the Sega Mega Drive. Players hammer popping critters across a grid of holes, balancing speed and accuracy as enemy types and patterns grow more devious. Timed rounds reward streaks while penalties punish hasty swings, creating tense, high-score-focused sessions ideal for short competitions or solo practice. Simple controls mask surprising depth: learn enemy tells, prioritize targets, and manage power-ups to climb leaderboards. Its pick-up-and-play design, fast pacing, and escalating challenge capture the arcade cabinet spirit, offering nostalgic thrills for retro fans.
