HERE'S HOW TO PLAY

Lady Bug is eliminated.

appears on your TV. Wait for the Game Option screen to

either controller keypad.
 
STEP 2: Getting around the maze.
 
Move your Lady Bug through the maze, eating dots as she
goes. Avoid running into skulls!
 
STEP 3: Dodge predatory insects!
 
Each time the timing border changes color, a new dangerous
insect begins to hunt down your Lady Bug To dodge it,
steer her through turnstiles that only she can move. But be
quick or the insect will take advantage of the open turnstile
and follow through right after her.
 
STEP 4: Earn extra points and bonuses.
 
Have Lady Bug eat hearts, letters and vegetables. Hearts
and letters appear in the regular maze screen. Vegetables
appear in both the regular maze screen and the Vegetable
