Gameplay
The player controls a mouse who must pop various balloons scattered throughout levels. The player is armed with a flamethrower which can be used to exterminate frogs and monsters blocking paths; the flamethrower has a finite amount of fuel that depletes quickly and minimizes the amount of damage dealt, but can be replenished by popping balloons. Haradon, an enemy resembling Godzilla, can stun the player with an attack, leaving the player susceptible to attacks. Two juice glasses are available; when drank, the player gains a power-up that allows them to consume enemies for extra points for a limited time.
