TriviaEdit

• The music uses similar instruments to those of Cheese Dreams.
• This game is a bit similar to a mini game on Mario Paint for the SNES in which Mario's glove holds a fly swatter and swats flies, mosquitos, and other bugs.
• Flies are often associated with Pest Control, probably becuase they are the first enemy encountered. and appear on the menu and logo of the game. Really, Flies first appear in Feed Me!
