About Boxing Bugs
An octagon-enclosed rotating cannon serves as the player's defensive hub in this shooter. You fire projectiles from one end of the cannon while using an extension arm equipped with a boxing glove to strike targets. The goal involves destroying three randomly scattered bugs and various bombs located outside the protective wall to prevent them from reaching the center.
