Bugz

Bugz is my entry to the NeoFlash Spring 2008 competition.

The aim of the game is to pop as many bugz as possible by starting a chain reaction of bugz popping.
Each level has a varying amount of available bugz and a set target for the number of bugz you must pop to advance to the next level.
You only get one attempt per level, so choose your initial position wisely, timing is key!

-= FEATURES =-

- 17 levels of addictive gameplay.
- Online high score table - view and upload scores in game.
- Save & load of player and autosave feature.
- Game share ability.
- Official PSP dialogs.
- Custom soundtrack.
- Play MP3 files in game from MUSIC/ or PSP/MUSIC/ folder.
- Plus much more!

The gameplay idea is based on the excellent flash game Boomshine (http://www.k2xl.com/games/boomshine/).

-= HIGH SCORES =-

The online high score table has a few simple methods to attempt to keep cheaters to a minimum.
If cheating is persistant, I will remove the table - don't spoil it for others.
