Icon of the Pest Control

Pest Control is a single-player "tower defense" style mini-game that was first introduced in April 2011. The game can be found in Appondale as well as the Sol Arcade. It can also be played through the Games menu or via its den item counterpart.

Gameplay[]

The player has to strategically place defenders along a path to eat the trail of pests that crawl, hop, and fly by. Each level is called a wave. The player has 5 health points and loses one every time a pest gets to the end of the path. The game ends when the player wins, quits, or runs out of health. They start out with tokens which the player can use to buy defenders to place along the path and can get more by defeating pests or selling defenders.

Each defender also has a favored pest which means that each pest has a defender that does more damage to it than other defenders. When the player wins, it is also possible to win bonus tokens. The den version of the game is available in the Sol Arcade shop. A user can speed a wave up by clicking the arrows at the bottom of your screen when playing the game. The speed will increase making each defender and crossing bug pass by quicker and sounds produce more rapidly.

This mini-game is available in four levels: Easy, Medium, Hard and Endless. The Endless mode can be unlocked by completing hard mode. Ants are the easiest pests to get rid of, and mice are hardest.
