More about this game
Defend your garden from descending toy alien bugs by controlling a flower cannon. Your goal is to clear five waves of invaders and defeat the final UFO boss. Move side to side, fire seed-stars, and dodge enemy projectiles. As you destroy aliens, the remaining ones speed up. You have three shields that break after eight hits each. A run ends if you lose your three lives or if the alien formation reaches the bottom.
Tips
- The aliens move faster as you destroy them, increasing their speed by up to 45% when only a few are left. Try to take out the lowest ones first to buy yourself more time.
- Your three shields can only take 8 hits each before they are completely destroyed. Use them for cover, but keep moving so they don't take unnecessary damage.
- The UFO boss has 30 health and fires a spread of three shots every half second. Stay between the bullets and keep firing to take it down.
Questions
How many waves are in the game?
There are exactly 5 regular waves of alien bugs to clear. After you defeat the fifth wave, the UFO boss will appear for the final battle.
What happens if the aliens reach the bottom of the screen?
If the alien formation reaches the bottom of the playfield, the game is immediately over, regardless of how many lives you have left. You must destroy them before they descend too far.
Can I repair my shields during the game?
No, the shields do not regenerate health between waves. Once a shield takes 8 hits from enemy fire, it is permanently destroyed for the rest of your run.
