Panda vs Bugs FREE by TechSoft Ventures
Bugs climb the trees all the time. Bugs try to sting the Lovely Panda. They appear from nowhere with the only aim – to hurt. But our Panda is not a weakling! Our Panda is a true warrior! Panda vs Bugs is free and available for most BlackBerry smartphones.
The principles of the game are the following:
- Panda can try to escape from bugs, it can move from tree to tree and from one side of the trunk to another. If it is above the insects a player can make it slide down and kill the bugs with Panda’s bottom.
- A player should keep in mind that the number of bugs and their speed is growing all the time!!!
- Every killed bug brings a point, but if a bug manages to sting Panda, it will fall down from a tree and a player will lose one life.
