War of the Bugs or Monsterous Manouvers in a Mushroom Maze
蘑菇迷宫虫虫大战
War of the Bugs, released in 1981 by Armenia and Food and Fun Corp, is a fixed-screen action game for the arcade. Players control a farmer navigating a grid-based mushroom maze, tasked with spraying pesticide to eliminate waves of insects including beetles, worms, and other pests. The player moves across rows and columns of the field while enemies advance in patterns, requiring quick repositioning to avoid being overrun. A spray canister serves as the primary weapon, with limited reach that forces close engagement. Each stage clears when all bugs are eliminated, after which new waves appear with increased speed and aggression. The game draws clear comparisons to contemporaries like Centipede, but its maze-grid movement and farming theme give it a distinct structure.
