The game in a paragraph

Shut Up Fly is a free iPhone arcade game by Tim Hudson. Flies react to real-world movement and sudden sound changes, 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. The campaign spans 51 environments, with three-star mastery, local records, and optional Game Center rankings. There are no ads or in-app purchases.

Three things to try

  1. Watch Fly Sense. Settle your grip, let the warning meter calm, and wait for a fly to land. Movement and sudden sound can change its behavior.
  2. Stop the infestation. Squish maggots before they hatch. The run ends if 12 live flies take over.
  3. Earn La Chancla. Follow the four-hit combo key to unlock weapon rewards. A flying sandal is part of the joke.

Camera, microphone, and motion signals power Fly Sense on the device. Camera images and audio are not recorded or saved. See the privacy details and sensor setup guide.
