(OVER)LORD OF THE FLIES

It's a swat-or-be-swatted world! In (Over)Lord of the Flies, you and your best fly-foe take command of fly legions and duke it out to the death for ultimate fly power!

Hatch eggs to gather your swarm, stock up on power-ups, and KILL! Or, take cover behind paperclips or pennies...
