Three games in one, each set on a different screen but the style of play remains the same for all.

The stars are five differently coloured bugs. Each in turn stands on a springboard positioned to the right of the screen. Using keyboard control the springboard must be raised or lowered to the correct height from which to launch the bug, so he can land on various targets to the left.

Once released, the bug bounces off the walls that he contacts, so keys 1-9 are also used to determine the strength of his bounce.

Each game may be played by up to 10 people who may compete in one to 10 rounds. Points are awarded for every successful landing, the total being displayed after each completed round.

Since there is no random element, before long the exact requirements to land the bugs can be remembered. In the multi-player situation the last player undoubtedly has an affair advantage as he is able to benefit from all previous player's experiments and successes.
