Bumble Bee

This a colourful version of the arcade game in which you guide a creature around a maze with revolving doors, trying to eat some things while avoiding others.

In this case the creature purports to be a bumble bee. It's the first blue bee I've ever seen. Your nimble bumble wants to eat the pollen grains which are scattered throughout the maze. He must make sure though that he doesn't get tempted by the luscious toadstools. These have very pretty red and white spotted tops but are unfortunately poisonous. The 'bowls of gorgeous food' are also likely to make him terminally ill.

Definitely edible, though, are the succulent fruits which appear as bonuses in the centre of the maze; tender plums, sweet strawberries and tropical bananas. Get to them quickly or they turn into whirling purple spiders and career after you. Using the doors as protection, you must eat all the pollen grains before rushing to the transporter and moving on to the next page.
