Entertainment has released
Feelers, a new
arcade shooter. An evil insect forces have kidnapped your colony's
queens, spelling doom for your collective unless you can protect its

if you can mow down the hordes of menaces out to break or steal them.

for the job. From shotguns and bazookas to guided missiles and air
strikes, you'll be able to exterminate your enemies with extreme
justice. This is one game where you'll need a quick trigger finger!
This is definitely one addicting game. Check out the
60 minute trial.
