Object: Capture all your Opponent's pieces by 'bumping' into them. The board contains 'Ants', 'Bugs', and 'Beetles', rotated in different directions. When clicked, any piece will rotate 0, 90, 180 or 270 degrees, depending in which direction there is a free square ahead. If there is no empty space in front of the piece, then the piece will rotate 90 degrees. If after a rotation of 90 degrees there is no empty space in front of the piece, then the piece will rotate 180 degrees. If after a rotation of 180 degrees there is no empty space in front of the piece, then the piece will rotate 270 degrees. If after a rotation of 270 degrees there is no empty space in front of the piece, then the piece cannot be clicked. After the rotation an Ant or a Bug slides as far as empty squares are available. A Beetle, however, may slide any number (one or more) of squares. If after its rotation and slide a Bug or Beetle 'bumps' into an enemy piece (i.e. has an enemy piece in front of it), then this piece will be captured. You win if you manage to capture all your opponent's pieces. Please note that there is an alternative piece set using chess pieces. The unusual movements of the pieces need a little time to get used to. I recommend playing my solitaire game 'Bump' as an exercise.
