Happily, the only bugs to be found in this program are those to be seen jumping around the screen in the House of Bugs.

The house has a basement, ground, first and second floors and a roof. By controlling your man, one of four, a high score must be obtained by climbing ladders to the upper floors.

Lingering on lower levels results in points being deducted.

When the game starts, the four resident bugs are to be found on the roof.

As play progresses, some will descend the ladders, eager to leap on to your head.

Your only protection is to jump to the ceiling and drop down on the bug as he passes. This will gain bonus points, but once a square of ceiling has been damaged it cannot be used again until replastered.

Repairs are only carried out when the score reaches 300. For every 600 points gained, the second floor ceiling is repaired and you earn an extra man.

While plastering is in progress the bugs go wild, so whether it's you or those bugs that are hopping by the end of the game depends on how fast those reactions are!
