Introduction

Sitting by a pond infested with flies and bees may not seem like a nice place to be, but it is for a Quiggle. They can sit back, relax and enjoy a nice meal catching the pests. Your job is the aid the little Pink Quiggle have the meal of a lifetime and earn yourself some Neopoints.

Controls & Instructions

You need to remember 3 keys. That's all. You use the left and right arrow keys to move the Quiggle left and right (Obviously.) and you press the spacebar to make the Quiggle stick out his tongue and catch the flies, bees, or hit the lilies.

Tips & Strategies

If you have ever played the arcade game "Centipede", you will instantly adapt to this game. Bees replace the spiders, lilies replace the mushrooms and flies replace the centipede.

But if you haven't, don't fret. I'm here to explain all:

That's what you'll see when you play. It may look a bit random, but hopefully will seem obvious once you have read this guide.

You are the pink Quiggle at the bottom of the screen. They can move left to right, but not up and down. They are fixed at the bottom so cannot move to the side to get a better angle on it.

Your tongue is your weapon. You can use it to catch flies and bees, and also to remove the lilies. When you use the spacebar, you release the tongue from the Quiggle and keeps going to the top of the screen until it hits something. The tongue takes about 1 second to reach the top. While you have your tongue out, you can't move, so don't stick it out if you don't need to. At the start of each level, find an opening where the lilies are positioned so they allow your tongue through without hitting one. If there isn't an opening, make one quickly. Stay in that position until the flies start hitting the lilies and changing their path.

The flies are your main aim. Get them out as quick as possible. If you don't get them all, they will keep falling and eventually hit you. When that happens, you lose a life and start the level all over again! Although during gameplay this doesn't really need to be known, but it's useful to know. The brown fly is worth 2 points, the pink fly 5 points and the purple fly 10 points. There is always a purple fly at the end of each line at the start of the level. If you get lilies that position themselves in a vertical line at the edges of the screen, this can be useful as you can just keep hitting the spacebar in the same place and get them quickly, as they are all lined up nicely. Great!

The bees are out to get you, too. They fall from the top of the screen to the bottom. Sometimes, they can go straight down, but sometimes they go at crazy angles and can sting you if you are off guard. They can sometimes sandwich you into the corner so you have to be stung, which can get annoying if you are on your last life. You can hit them with your tongue and get 20 bonus points for it. Doing that with every bee during the game, on average, gets you 800 more points! If you finish the game and do that, you may well have a high score on your hands!

The lilypads are by far the most annoying part of the game. They are in the way, they take 5 shots at them before they disappear and once they have, you get 1 point for it. My advice would be to not try and get points from them by hitting them. Just ignore them.

If you are lucky enough to get to level 10 with more than 1 life left, let a bee or a fly kill you when there is only one fly left on the board. You don't get any bonus points for extra lives at the end of the game, and when you die, your points carry over and you play the level again. Keep doing that until you lose all your lives to get maximum points.

Extra Stuff

To get even more points by typing in "deliciousflies" during gameplay to recieve an extra life.

Conclusion

Unless you've got a bunch of time on your hands, this game will only fetch you about 1500NP, but is a great game to play! Remember, dodge the bees, eat the flies and ignore the lilies and you'll be fine.
