Bug Zapper: Zap the bugs before they swarm you!

The bugs are spawning fast, your job is to kill as many as you can until time runs out. Every time a bug spawns, the progress bar fills up, but every time you kill one, the bar goes down. Be careful though, if 30 bugs are on the wall at any one time, it's game over!

Kill bugs by shooting electric shocker nodes at the wall. Each shocker node connects with the previous one, but you can only shoot 3 at a time. Each bug crossing an electric connection dies, giving 100 points. But connect up 3 nodes, forming a triangle to kill all bugs inside, getting 200 points per bug. Get as high a score as possible, and watch out for the frenzy mode.

The frenzy mode randomly causes bugs to spawn at 2x the normal rate.
