THE GAME



Boris Bee, hero of "THE BIRD AND THE BEES", has been set upon by a vicious

gang of ants and locked away, somewhere within their nest, to await a 

terrible fate. Fortunately for Boris, help is at hand in the shape of his

cousin, Barnabee who is about to launch a daring rescue mission.



You control Barnabee as he searches the labyrinthine ants nest in search of

his missing friend. Can you rescue Boris and guide him back to the safety 

of his hive, or will you perish underground?



GAME CONTROLS



To move Barnabee:



Q, E, T, U or O - Move left



W, R, Y, I or P - Move right



Bottom Row Keys - Flap wings



Other keys:



S - sound on



A - sound off



BREAK - abort game



Barnabee will die if he runs out of stamina, so make use of the flowers 

which provide energy-giving pollen. Ants and thorns sap Barnabee's 

strength.



Some sections of wall are weak and will collapse when Barnabee flies into 

them, opening new routes in the maze system - other passages only open up 

when Barnabee visits certain flowers.



Once Boris has been rescued, make a map! he will follow Barnabee, if he is 

close enough, but he is weak and so you will have to fly slowly to allow 

him to keep up with you on the way out.





If you enjoy this game, look out for other Bug-Byte programs at all good

software outlets.
