Whilst being well presented and fairly interesting, it lacks the features and addictive qualities of a really top quality arcade game. Read Review

A well written addictive arcade game with colourful, smooth graphics and good sound. Read Review

Full Instructions

Introduction

Guide Bumble around the maze swinging the turnstiles and collecting the pollen, keeping clear of the toadstools and the fire barrels. Pursuing you around the maze is a bunch of scuttling spiders who can only be killed by luring them into the fire barrels - they are unaffected by the toadstools. The pollen flashes to let you know that a pider is about to emerge from the central lair.

When all the pollen has been collected, panels open in the box marked 'OUT'. Enter the box to progress to the next maze.
