How to play
Tap Start, then tap the flies before the 20-second timer runs out. Each fly you swat departs this world with a line borrowed from a philosopher or writer: its last words, though rarely theirs. Golden flies are worth 5 points. Tap the floating bubbles for power-ups: the Giant Swatter makes every swat reach much further, and Slow-Mo slows every fly down, each for 4 seconds.
Common questions
There's no sound.
Check the speaker button at the top right of the game, and make sure your iPhone's silent switch is off and the volume is up.
How do I pause?
Tap the pause button at the top right during a round. The game also pauses itself if a call or notification interrupts it.
What is the Fly Guide?
An album of all 100 kinds of fly, numbered 1 to 100. Each kind is checked off the first time you swat one. Swat them all and the guide starts again.
How do I reset the Fly Guide?
Open the Fly Guide and tap Reset at the top left. Your high scores are kept.
Are the quotes accurate?
They come from well-known sources, many of them classic translations. Some famous last words are traditionally attributed rather than recorded. If you spot an error, please let us know.
