Introduction

I suppose you did not know that Neopian had a Protection Zone 6b. And I suppose you did not know also that you need to protect it from bugs, on your special wocky tank (yep, you're a wocky). So, get your shotguns, tanks and high heel shoes ready, let's kill some bugs!



How to Play

You can move your tank with the arrow keys and shot with the space bar. I use a very secret technique that consists in pressing the space bar continuously and just move the tank around. So, leave your finger or something equally heavy over the space bar to make a continuous shot.

The bugs just move to the sides. And even with that they don't move much. So it will not be hard to shot an entire bug line quickly.

Attention: when your protection walls (or dunes) receive a shot they will decrease, until they disappear (as shown below). This also apply to your own shots. So, when the bugs attack you with their own guns run quickly to another space or stop pressing the space bar while protecting yourself.

Besides the normal bugs shots there are the Big Bugs shots. They appear on the upper line and they blast you with giant fire balls. Each bug worth 2 points, no matter their size.



Special Items

These special items are released by the bugs when you shot them. Memorize their colours and their effects.

Image NameEffect
GrowIncreases the size of the tank. Do not grab it, it will make you more vulnerable (more space to hit)!
ShrinkMakes you tank smaller. Do everything to grab it. Grabbing it multiple times will not keep your size decreasing.
Speed UpMakes you faster. It's very useful after you get used to the game, it can be hard to control when you're still training
Slow DownMakes the tank slower. Do not grab it! Never!
LaserDestroys a whole line of bugs. It's an one use shot, so aim carefully
AP plugsThey're bigger, they're faster, they're nastier. Grab them!
ShieldThe usual nice effect. Do not risk running to it if it's not coming in your direction, tough
Wall RepairA must! It will repair all your walls and protection!
