![]() Bee Afraid: Levels 4, 5, 6 and 7 all feature bees in one of three varieties (plus the Queen Bee boss in level 7), all of which are out to get Rollie.Bloodless Carnage: Lots of dead bugs in this game, but no bug entrails to be seen.The change in tone between Level 3 and Level 4 is pretty jarring.Level 3 has you riding a pond skater and fighting cartoony mosquitos, while in Level 4 the sky is red, the music is much more dramatic, giant human feet can crush you, you fight spiders that are far more realistic than any of the other enemies you've previously fought, and a bat can swoop out of nowhere and kill you instantly. Inverted with the sequel, Bugdom 2, which makes things Lighter and Softer.Checkpoint: Most levels will have a couple of large drinking straws with drops of water dangling off them.You jump and knock off the water drop to get the check point. Sometimes you'll kick open a walnut, hoping for something nice like a clover or a raspberry, only to get one of these bastards chewing on your rear. Collision Damage: Some enemies spiders, bee grubs, slugs, caterpillars, etc can damage you just by touching you.Possibly justified since some of them are poisonous bugs. Cycle of Hurting: It's possible to get stuck in the landscaping, and if this happens when you're near a spear ant, you're in for a lot of stabbing.It can also happen if three or more spear ants gang up on you. Elite Mooks: Most ants are armed with just a spear, but some of the ones in levels 8 and 9 can fly and breathe fire.Everything Trying to Kill You: Level 8 is a pretty harrowing experience because of this, although level 9 is arguably just as bad owing to the unkillable (unless lured into lava) ghost ants.Fake Ultimate Mook: The drone bees may look muscley and intimidating, but once they've fired their one and only stinger at you, they drop down dead.Giant Spider: Actually, they're regular-sized spiders, but since your character is a pill-bug, they come across being human-sized.Īll you have to do is jump out of the way.God Save Us from the Queen!: The Queen Bee, naturally.She arguably is more difficult to beat than the Final Boss. Goomba Stomp: The bee grubs die this way.Green Hill Zone: Levels 1 and 2, the Lawn.Įverybody else, though, is tough enough to require one or more kicks.Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Rollie and the mosquitoes wear sneakers, the ladybugs wear high-heeled shoes, and the boxing flies wear boxing gloves.Hard Levels, Easy Bosses: The final level the boss fight with Thorax is laughably easy compared to the hell you go through to get there. ![]() Hoist by His Own Petard: In level 8, there are numerous cherry bombs and dynamite sticks scattered around.
