13,815 Couldn't remember exactly what to do so just legged it down the ladders and somehow made it to the third screen but after frantic wiggling of joystick managed to get myself zapped before realising what was going on

10 trees at one point. Is it just me or is the graveyard bit really hard?

A unique game for sure. Who ever thought planting trees could be so hectic?

51,701 This was always one of those games that I wanted to get to grips with... reading (via atarimania) the instructions is a big help! For those new a quick guide:

1st screen
Plant a few seeds, protect them 'till they grow (and protect yourself) then plant more!

2nd screen
Plant the trees over the seeds. Then, here's the bit I never did - after they have rooted and fallen click on them to recoup the tree to use it again, don't scroll tress of the screen! Remember you can stop yourself walking mid tree hole by releasing the fire button.

3rd screen
Walk by holding fire down and tread on all the graves. Zap everything ish. [Yes dodgers this is really hard!]

The screen's link in nicely with the amount you do on each screen relating to the next.

hmmm, so much for a quick guide Looks like it's going to be a frantic two weeks

1st screen - Plant seeds, protect them. The level ends when your health runs out. Each troll (or whatever it is) subtracts from your health when you "suck it up/vaporize it/or whatever that is". When you run low on seeds a little bouncy eye thing will come out. Hit it and you'll get more seeds. At some point a spider will come out and try to poison your trees. Try and get the spider if you can. If you hear the tree's "screaming" you need to run the cursor over them (the spot where the web or their mouth is) or they will die. It's usually a good idea to deliberately run your health low if you have alot of trees just to move to the 2nd screen. Rather than run the risk of losing them all to the spider (easy way to do this is let the spider hit you).

2nd screen - How many trees you fully grow on the 1st screen is how many you have on the 2nd screen. The glowing seed turns into a spider so if you can do it quickly try and plant on over it to keep it from appearing. Protect your trees from the spider. When you pick up the question mark at the top it will lower the ladders so you can go down a level. Go down and get a question mark there so you can leave that level. (But not before destroying as many seeds as you can). Grabbing the rotating circle thing will increase your health. The more seeds you destroy here the less spiders there will be on....

3rd screen - I don't make it on this screen often but pretty much what TRBB said is all you need to do.

109441 graveyard 5

I have noticed trees grow faster when planted on certain parts of the screen, such as the top left hand corner.
