The Game

When a Katerpillar reaches the bottom of the screen, it will start to move back up to the top of the player's area. Also, its regeneration process begins. That is, individual head segments will begin to come on to the screen from the sides at an ever-increasing rate.

If a Katerpillar hits a regular mushroom, it will simply turn around and go onto a different level. However, if it hits a "magic mushroom" (blue), it will immediately dive towards the bottom of the screen. If it hits a "killer mushroom", its body segments become heads, which causes the entire Katerpillar to break up and cascade down the screen.

When a Katerpillar segment is hit (head or body), it turns into a mushroom. If a body segment is hit, the Katerpillar splits in two with each half going in opposite directions.

Each time a Katerpillar is destroyed (all segments on the screen hit) the player is advanced to the next difficulty level and another Katerpillar.

At any time during play, the mushroom-eating tarantula may come onto the screen along with his friend, the Beetle. As the Beetle falls from the top of the screen, he leaves a trail of mushrroms. If the Beetle runs over a "magic mushroom", the Beetle speeds up and the mushroom becomes a "killer".
