Gameplay
The player controls the eponymous "silverfish", which must destroy hordes of other stylized alien bugs.[2] The player is totally weaponless and must touch energy orbs that explode on contact, destroying all the enemies in the vicinity.[2] There are 3 play modes, Reaper, Scavenger and Onslaught.[2] In the first, enemies mimic the player's movements.[2] In the second, enemies follow preset patterns on screen, while in the last, there is a wider array of enemies and the player only gets a small number of lives.[2]
