Stop everything you’re doing and grab Pocket God if you still haven’t (and if you own an iOS-based device). It’s one of those “awesome value” apps that’s constantly updated with new levels (episodes). The latest update, episode 44th called The Perfect Swarm, introduces a plague of locusts descending on the cute Pygmies.
In order to get the power of the locust swarm, you must access the temple on Apocalypse Island and feed a Pygmy to the locust queen. Impregnated with locusts, the queen’s belly will rumble and you can press it to send locusts spewing out of her tail. The swarm is immediately under your control, allowing you to torment your tribe. You can guide locusts to a Pygmy’s back to strip the flesh from his bones, fill a Pygmy’s mouth with locusts to explode like a bug bomb, or bring the locusts down on a Pygmy’s head to turn him into a giant mutant locust that will hop around the island until tapped. Moreover, you can lift a Pygmy from below with the swarm to toss him back and forth in the air – and slash through him in midair to slice him in half like an “airborne insect ninja.”
Yep you’ll get a ton of fun with the new update. And if you want to customize your Pocket God experience, there’s the new Mondo Skin Pack, available via in-app purchase for 99 cents, that turns the Pocket God world into a much nerdier place. For instance, moon will be replaced with a 20-sided die, volcano into a nuclear power plant and sand island statue into an arcade cabinet…
