Every fly has last words. Memento Muscae is a tapping game with a philosophical twist. Swat as many flies as you can in 20 seconds. As each one meets its end, it shares a final departing thought from history's great minds: Nietzsche, Seneca, Shakespeare, Confucius, Emily Dickinson, Mark Twain and more than 160 others. And there's an "Ask the flies" if you are stuck on something.
