Aim of the game

Robbie the robot's been assigned to protect his master's plant from some very determined and hungry insects who will try to eat it before it blooms.

Game play

To do this, you'll need to use the insecticide in the wall niches at each side of the screen. Each can of insecticide is colour- coded with reference to the insects; hence, red insecticide will kill red insects, and so on. Using the wrong insecticide will merely stun an insect. Bonus objects pop up as well, which give you extra points when collected. The plant itself is in the centre of the screen; it will shrink if eaten for too long. If it dies or you hit an insect, you'll lose one of your lives.
