→Dreaded Bug Blaster
====Dreaded Bug Blaster====
The bug blaster destroys bugs and mushrooms. You start each game with three bug blasters (the number remaining is shown at the top of the screen next to the high score). Press the red button once on your Joystick Controller for a single shot, hold the button down for rapid-fire blasting. You'll be awarded an additional bug blaster for each 10,000 points you score, and you can earn up to six bug blasters at any one time.
====March of the Centipedes====
The Centipedes attack from the top of the TV screen, zig-zagging back and forth each time they bump into a mushroom. The bug blaster destroys the Centipede by blasting each segment separately.
You must destroy each segment of the Centipede before it can reach the bottom of the screen. Otherwise, more Centipede segments will start to appear to attack your bug blaster at the bottom of the screen. When an entire Centipede is destroyed, a new one attacks from the top of the screen.
====Jumping Spider====
But wait, there are other dangers. The Jumping Spider, which isn't blocked by the mushrooms, can pounce on your bug blaster and destroy it. And when the Spider jumps over a mushroom, that mushroom may magically disappear.
====Poinsonous Scorpion====
The Poisonous Scurrying Scorpion can dash across your patch and poison any mushroom just by touching it! When a Centipede touches a poisoned mushroom, the Centipede goes insane and heads straight to the bottom of the screen.
====Frenzied Flea====
The Frenzied Flea may create more mushrooms wherever he lands, making it difficult to shoot a bug until it is dangerously close. The flea's bite can destroy your bug blaster too. It takes several shots to destroy a flea.
