More about this game
Your goal is to protect the garden through five waves of alien invaders and one final UFO boss. You control a flower cannon, firing seed-stars to pop the descending bugs before they reach the flower beds. As you clear waves, the aliens move faster and fire more frequently. You have three shields to block enemy shots, but they can break. The run ends if you lose all three lives, if the aliens reach the bottom, or if you defeat the UFO.
Tips
- Your three shields can each take 8 hits before breaking. Use them for cover when the aliens fire, but do not rely on them forever.
- The aliens speed up as their numbers dwindle. When only a few are left, lead your shots to hit them as they zip across the screen.
- The UFO boss takes 30 hits to defeat and fires three shots at once. Stay between its projectiles to avoid taking damage while firing back.
Questions
How many waves are in the game?
There are 5 waves of alien bugs to defeat. After clearing the fifth wave, you will face the final UFO boss to win the game.
What happens if the aliens reach the bottom?
If the alien formation reaches the bottom of the screen, the game is immediately over, regardless of how many lives you have left.
Can I heal my shields?
No, your three shields cannot be repaired during a run. Each shield starts with 8 health and permanently degrades as it takes hits from enemy fire.
