How to play
A little hedgehog in a bubble helmet has landed on a candy planet, and space jellies are swarming in from every side. Luckily the hedgehog has a soda blaster that sprays colorful fizz for as long as you hold the trigger. Move and shoot at the same time: the jellies come straight at you, so keep moving and keep spraying.
A wave is cleared when the arena is empty. Every new wave is bigger and faster than the last, and new troublemakers join in:
- Flying saucers shoot slow bubbles. You can pop the bubbles too.
- Spiky balls bounce from wall to wall and take many hits.
- Eggs hatch into three new jellies after a moment, so shoot them in time.
Lost baby hedgehogs wander around the arena as well. Walk up to them to rescue them, and each further rescue in the same wave is worth more points. Watch out that a spiky ball doesn’t scare them away!
Dropped power-ups give you triple shot, rapid fire or a bubble shield for a while.
Scoring
A jelly is worth 50 points, a saucer 150, an egg 200 and a spiky ball 300. The first baby you rescue is worth 500 points, the second 1,000, and so on. Every 25,000 points earns an extra life. The game ends when you run out of lives.
On GameWhee, you can continue once with three extra lives for three tokens.
Tips
- Don’t stand still: circle around the crowd of jellies and shoot it from the side.
- Shoot the eggs first, before they hatch.
- A spiky ball takes many hits, so dodge it and shoot it from a distance.
