An insect shows up holding a character. Type the reading in romaji: each hit reels the tongue in and brings it closer, missing or stalling gives it ground.
Three lives. Every insect that gets away costs one.
A bug is worth what it cost. The fly takes 3 hits and is worth 3 points; the beetle takes 7 and is worth 7.
Streaks attract rare bugs. Going without a miss draws the insects with more stamina — more points and more practice.
