Electron User (Issue 1.07) 5th Mar 2014 01:49Have you ever felt the need to destroy a defenceless caterpillar? If you haven't so far, now's your chance!
In a variation of the popular arcade game, you control the black, movable weapon at the bottom end of a field of mushrooms.
You are hungry for points. The caterpillar is at the other end, hungry for you.
Hang on to your nerve as you watch it menacingly winding its way towards you, weaving between the mushrooms.
As you move from left to right or up and down, you fire at the caterpillar, blasting mushrooms out of the way, scoring points all the time.
When you hit the lengthy beasty, a segment is destroyed. If you hit it in the centre then it splits in two.
But it still comes towards you. Can you destroy it all before it gets you?
While you're watching it come closed, you mustn't forget to fire at a scorpion which occasionally appears. A lot of points can be gained from hitting that particular undesirable.
Watch out too for a spider. He's hanging around the bottom of the screen and ready to grab you if you can't shoot or avoid him.
A nice little game, one that has everyone in the room wanting a go - while you're reluctant to let them. Graphics and sound effects are well up to standard.
