Description:

Get out your bug blaster and save that fungus !.

An insidious invation of multiplying insects (Centipedes, jumping Spiders, poisonous Scorpions and frenzied Fleas) pose different perils to the mushroom patch.

You must repeatedly blast enraged creepers and stubborn obstacles.

Remember to listen for the distinctive sounds of the attacking bugs; and watch out for blasted Centipede sewgments, each one grows a new head !.
