Gameplay
Playing as "George" the player attempts to protect their picnic from Ants, who will carry off the food, Spiders, who will weave webs to slow George down or bite, and Wasps, who will sting to paralyze. While fending off the insects the player must move the food back on to the tables. Points are gained for food still visible on the screen at the end of each round.[3] Each round lasts 90 seconds. There are sixteen rounds in a game. If all the food is pushed off the screen the game ends.
