Boris the Bee has been kidnapped by a group of anti-social ants and his cousin Barnabee must rescue him. The player must travel through an underground ant complex, which has four different entrances into the above-ground world. Ants must be avoided; contact reduces the player's energy level. The game is over when energy reaches zero, but can be replenished by finding pollen from flowers present in the maze.[1]
The general arrangement of the game is a maze; flowers will remove barriers elsewhere in the complex. The individual screens are also self-contained mazes. Each screen may have more than one exit.[1]
