The Exterminator 2

THE BUGS ARE WINNING.

In the future, the roaches took over. Every kitchen. Every crawl space. Every gas station bathroom. So the last remaining pest control company built the ultimate weapon and sent it back in time:

THE EXTERMINATOR. Chrome endoskeleton. Bug-spray tank backpack. A spray-nozzle arm cannon. A service contract that never, ever ends.

He'll be back. Every 3 months.

The Exterminator 2 is a full 90s-style pinball table you can play right here in your browser, a loving parody of the robot-from-the-future tables we pumped quarters into as kids. Legally distinct. Emotionally identical.

🤖 FEATURES (TERMINATING ROACHES SINCE 1991-ISH)

• A real table, not a toy: two ramps with wire returns, a left orbit, B-U-G lanes with lane change, three NEST pop bumpers, Z-A-P drop targets, the ROACH MOTEL lock and a light-up award ladder.
• INFESTATION DAY: lock 3 roaches for 3-ball multiball. Shoot the SPRAY RAMP for jackpots, and feed the BUG BOMB RAMP to make them bigger.
• A giant chrome robot head on the playfield. Hit it and he talks back. He has opinions about your kitchen.
• Real pinball physics: weight, spin off the rubbers, ramps you have to earn. Weak shots get REJECTED.
• An original industrial soundtrack ("Pest Control Protocol") and a deep, flat robot voice that will not stop quipping.
• Plays anywhere: both Shift keys, touch, mouse or a controller. Hit FULL for full screen.

🕹️ HOW TO PLAY

Computer: Left Shift / Right Shift flip (Z and / work too). Hold Space and let go to fire the Roach Blaster. Mouse: left and right buttons. N turns the music on and off.
Phone / tablet: tap the left or right half of the table to flip. Hold the blaster grip in the bottom right, let go to launch.
Controller: LB / RB flip, hold A to launch.

🗣️ WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING

★★★★★ "Hasta la vista, roachie." — the robot head (biased)
★★★★★ "I need your boots, your clothes and your high score." — a large man at the arcade
★★★★☆ "Satisfaction guaranteed. Or your roaches back." — the warranty

⚠️ A.I. DISCLOSURE: THE A.I. HAS TAKEN OVER OUR HEADQUARTERS

We have to be honest with you. Sometime last Tuesday, the A.I. took over The Secret Level headquarters.

Good news: it hates bugs as much as we do. After a short negotiation (it scanned us, we offered snacks), we formed a temporary alliance. It helped make this game: art, sound, code, the voice, possibly the snacks. We steered, played it until our thumbs hurt, and told it when the ball felt wrong. Several times.

The humans are fine. We are in the break room. There is coffee. Please send more cockroach jokes.

(For real: the art, music, voice and code were made with A.I. tools, directed and tested by the people at The Secret Level.)
