This budget-priced game was originally produced by Starcade and is a very fast and furiously addictive game. The name of the game is survival and you, as a little tadpole, have to eat your way out of trouble.

There are several dangers which have to be avoided such as letting dragon fly eggs settle on the bottom of your pond and hatch into deadly larvea. To stop this you must eat the eggs as they are laid. Also, there are smaller tadpoles which you can eat, along with a funny-looking bug which allows you to progress onto other screens. The graphics are very colourful and move extremely fast which makes this game well worth buying.
