Stompin' is a 1986 arcade action game developed by Bally/Sente in which the player controls a giant foot tasked with crushing insects and other small creatures swarming across the screen. Using a joystick, the player moves and slams the foot down to stomp targets before they can escape or cause damage. The game features a top-down perspective and waves of increasingly numerous and faster-moving pests that must be eliminated within a time limit. Each stage ramps up the challenge with more creatures and varied movement patterns. Stompin' is notable for its simple but physically satisfying concept built around a single repeated action, making it easy to pick up while requiring quick reflexes to score well.
