They may either grow, shrink speed up, or slow down the tank; temporarily give the tank a laser weapon, larger bullets, or a shield, or repair the walls.

The player moves their tank left and right with the left and right arrow keys, and fires their gun with the space bar. The object of the game is to clear the screen by shooting the advancing bugs. The bugs fire back - the player can move out of the way of their shots or hide behind one of five walls. Shots that land on the walls, either from the bugs or from the player, slowly break them down.

	~~The bugs fire back~~ and ~~diminish~~ the ~~walls you can hide behind~~.		When a bug is destroyed, it may drop a special bonus item that falls down to the player's tank.
