Bob does it again with the sequel to Farmer Jack.

Great version of Ladybug which is an underated arcade classic, still play that on MAME a lot.

Its a bit like Pacman but you can use the gates which swing back and forth to get away from the baddies.

Very addictive and also a very polished game, A+

The second game in the Farmer Jack series and it's based on a game called Lady Bug which I have never played, but it's a rather odd Pac-Man variant with gates you go through and enemies coming out one at a time. It also has a pretty weird colour sceme that doesn't look anywhere near as nice as Harvest Havoc. It also has hearts to collect which I think multiplied your score, as well as letters. But this I found to be the biggest detriment. You have letters and then you have SPECIAL and EXTRA, special I'm guessing makes you super and destroy the enemies and extra I'm presuming gives you an extra life. Now when I collected letters like R and C, they usually did not count towards these words, so I found it pretty much useless to collect them and there was no point in collecting them apart from they were necessary to complete the level, as in one level I got all the pills and needed the A to finish it. But I did not get with this one so much and very easily Harvest Havoc is a better game, I mean this is not a bad game by any means, but it could have been better and I'm thinking its faults lie with the game its based on rather than this game as a whole, but whatever the case I really hope this is not the beginning of a downward spiral for this series and it's more a blip on the radar.
