There are a lot of games out there, and a lot of them are
devoted to Anime. But rarely do we see one devoted to the
series "Ahh Megami-sama!" (Oh My Goddess!), and even less
devoted to Our Favorite bug-basher, Skuld.
This site is devoted to two games. Well, One, really.

Here's the Storyline! :::
Bugs started to appear from rifts in reality. Nobody knew why.
Some speculate that Reality was badly programmed. Some say that they
installed a bad operating system on the thing, and the bugs are a product of that.
But for whatever reason, these bugs trickle through the lines
of code, and manifest themselves in reality, as the following:
Bugs look like (And can easily be mistaken for) Bunny rabbits.
However, they don't have bunny rabbit tails, nor do they have the
normal amount of bunny rabbit feet. They have Ghost Tails, and
6 to 8 feet, like an Insect or Spider. This is how you can tell them apart from
normal everyday cutsie-wootsie bunnie-wunnies.
Now, although these are games that involve potentially violent
situations, I would like to stress that they really aren't.
As you can see, when Skuld bashes a bug, it turns into a harmless
puff of smoke. Even though the items appear to be hammers and
ghost-spider-bunny confabulations, there is no bone breaking,
no blood, no gore. Just cute Anime gameplay!
In the game, you can press F4 to switch between Window and
Full Screen modes. In Window mode, you can also resize the
playing area. The smaller you make it, the faster the game
should run. To start the game, push the Space Key. The controls
are as follows:

In the first level, you'll see a bunch of bugs. Although
each one is a different one, they're all relatively the
same type of orange jumping bug. You'll get a lot of these
until you get to the end of the level. (You should expect
only more, as in higher levels, they begin pouring out of
the bug-rifts.)
At the end of the first level, you'll see your first ghost-bug.
These bugs are blue in colour, and take many hits to get rid of.
(Luckily there's only one at a time! ^_^ You can get a lot of points
by hitting them multiple times in one swipe. Ghost bugs
are capable of turning around, and following you!
When you beat the ghost bug, you'll proceed to level two. In this
level, you'll meet your first skittery bug. These bugs skitter
along the floor, and move kinda fast, so watch your feet. You can jump
and land on these bugs with a well-timed hit.
The Ghost in level two is also a skittery one. It'll jump every
now and then, but most of the time, it'll skitter across the floor
like the other skittery bugs... It's pretty easy. Just back it
into a corner...
There's no particularly NEW bug in Level Three... What there IS
are holes that create about 7 bugs per second. So needless to say,
things may most likely become pretty hectic...
The Ghost-bug in Level Three is like the First ghost-bug. This
one moves faster. Try to keep it on one side of the screen.
In Level Four, you will get accustomed to more holes opening at once.
And you thought life was hectic in Level three... Don't worry about it,
however. In level Five, the bugs can turn around!
Also in level four, you'll meet a new kind of Ghost-bug. This bug is
capable of becoming transparent. While it is clear, you are incapable
of hitting it, and it is incapable of hitting you as well! When it
becomes solid again, be sure to thwack it! It will take a few hits,
So be ready to jump when it tries to land...
In level five, you will see a LOT of Floating bugs. There is no easy
way I know to get past these hordes of bugs, other than either jumping
frequently and swinging frantically, or staying on the ground and letting
them float off into reality somewhere!
In level five, the Ghost bug jumps and flies normally, until
it is directly over you. At that time, it will stop, and drop
straight down, much like the "Thwomp" creatures in Super Mario
World(TM of Nintendo) It's pretty cute too. Just step aside
and THWACK!
As you will begin to notice, whenever you smash a bug, a number (Usually 'one') appears above his head. As you also may have seen by now, smashing two bugs at once, or jumping on the head of a bug and smashing another before hitting the ground, will increase the score for every second bug. There is a much safer way to get higher numbers rather than 'trying to squash a zillion bugs at once'. That's the wrong way to go about it. No, what you need to do, is to stay in the air. There are some pretty useful and easy tactics for doing this as well.
One way, is to stand in the middle of two holes. Two bugs should come out at once, in a perfect world. Wait a second, and right before they jump, pounce one, jump over to the other, jump back to where the first one was, and another bug should be coming out of that hole. Bounce off of him, and do a flying hammer attack back to the second hole, where a fourth bug should have come out by now.
There are many more tactics, for instance, bouncing off any number of crawling bugs, or waiting for the holes that pour bugs to come out, and doing many flying attacks. My favorite (which you may have to maximize the window to make the game slow enough to pull off) is repeatedly bouncing off of the Boss Bugs, while they are flying through the air. The numbers begin at one, and double with each bug, up to 256, where they start increasing by one, to 257, 258, etc, etc... I was unable to get a PNG screenshot of any numbers higher than 32. I invite you to try. Tell me about it. =)
The "Undo" Command...
Every so often, you will be nice and busy squishing bugs, and
suddenly a flashing icecream cone will float down your screen...
This is not bad. It's actually very good.
If you catch it, you get what is commonly known as an "extra life". You can also
call it a "one-up". I prefer the term "undo command".
It depends on what you prefer I guess.
All it is, is another chance to squish more bugs!
