More about this game
You play as a small ant soldier exploring a sprawling garden to recover a stolen pollen cell. The journey requires you to jump across root platforms and shoot patrolling beetles with your pop gun. Lighting lanterns along the way saves your progress. Once you find the pollen in the upper roots, you must carry it east to unlock the greenhouse gate and face the Iron Weevil boss. A run ends if you lose your three health points.
Tips
- Beetles take three hits to defeat, so fire your pop gun rapidly from a safe distance before they get close.
- If you fall off the roots into the abyss below, you will lose one health point and respawn at your last lantern.
- During the Iron Weevil boss fight, wait for its charged rush attack and carefully jump over it before shooting back to chip away its 22 health points.
FAQ
- How do I open the greenhouse gate?
- You must first explore the upper roots to find the pollen cell. Once you collect it, carry it east to the gate at the end of the lower path to unlock the boss area.
- What happens if I lose all my health?
- If you lose your three health points, you will be sent back to your last lit lantern. However, you keep any pollen you have already collected.
- How do I beat the Iron Weevil?
- The Iron Weevil has 22 health points and will periodically charge at you. Jump over its rush attack and shoot it with your pop gun until its health bar is depleted.
