  I really enjoyed this mini-game when I was younger, so I decided to remake it with a few extra little features of my own. GameplayThe goal of the game is to score as many points as you can in 3 minutes. Move the beetle with your arrow keys and shoot with the spacebar. When you hit a shell, it will explode and has the possibility of starting a chain reaction. The bigger the chain reaction, the more points you'll get! Therefore it isn't always best to mash the spacebar at every shell you see, it might be best to dodge the shells until enough are on the screen to cause a good chain reaction.When the game starts, there will only be one shell on the screen. From this point, for every shell you shoot, two will come back! If your beetle is hit by a shell, don't give up! Tap the spacebar as fast as you can to revive your stunned beetle. The more times your beetle hit by a shell, the harder it is to recover. If you do not recover your beetle in 3 seconds, it will faint, and the game will be over. Be on the lookout for these powerups which will help you:
