A tiny fly. A personal grudge.
Shut Up Fly press kit.
Your iPhone or iPad becomes a fly-swatting arcade. Stay still, let one land, then ruin its day.
The game in a paragraph
Shut Up Fly is a free iPhone and iPad arcade game by Tim Hudson. Flies react to real-world movement and sudden approaches, so players wait for a calm moment before tapping to squish. Escaped flies can leave maggots that hatch into a growing swarm. Four-hit combos unlock an outrageous Armoury, including La Chancla. Flyduko adds 300 logic puzzles whose newly earned weapon prizes return to the hunt. The campaign spans 51 levels, with three-star mastery, local records, and optional Game Center rankings. Each campaign win restores part of Shut Up Fly Island, which the flies get in the end. Every packed fly is meanwhile being sent on an expensive worldwide vacation. Google weapon-reward ads are optional; there are no in-app purchases.

Three things to try
- Watch Fly Sense. Settle your grip, let the warning meter calm, and wait for a fly to land. Movement and sudden approaches can change its behavior.
- Stop the infestation. Squish maggots before they hatch. Clear every fly and maggot before the 30-second clock runs out.
- Earn La Chancla. Follow the four-hit combo key to unlock weapon rewards. A flying sandal is part of the joke.
Camera and motion signals power Fly Sense on the device. Camera images are not recorded or saved. The game does not use the microphone. See the privacy details and sensor setup guide.
