The player is trapped in the Enchanted Forest, armed with only a magic wand to ward off the forest's insect denizens. All of these insects will attack the player in continuous waves. To score points, the player must use the magic wand to shoot sparks at approaching insects by pressing the controller button. Holding down the controller button will set the wand to rapid-fire shots. If the player is bitten by an insect, they will be temporarily paralyzed and lose one of their three starting magic wands.

All enemy insects have a distinctive sound before attacking, which may help the player identify which insect is approaching. Enemies and objects in the game include:

The Centipede : The Centipede will attack in 12 waves. In the first wave, the Centipede will have a head attached to 11 body segments. In the second wave, the Centipede will have a head attached to 10 body segments, plus a detached head. The third wave will have the Centipede with an attached head, 9 body segments, plus two detached heads. These body segments will transform into heads and continue to do so until Wave 12. In the last wave, the Centipede will have 12 detached heads, independently attacking the player.

The Spider : The Spider will attempt to distract the player from attacking the Centipede. It will destroy any mushroom it touches. Spiders will score more points if hit at closer distances.

The Flea : The Flea will appear if the player has destroyed most of the existing mushrooms. It will drop down creating a new batch of mushrooms where it falls. The Flea will disappear after two hits. After the first hit, the Flea will drop down much faster.

The Scorpion : The Scorpion will appear in the third wave. It moves slowly but will pick up speed, moving faster. While doing so, it will poison any mushroom it touches.

Mushrooms : Mushrooms fill the Enchanted Forest and may act as obstacles or cover for the player. There are two types of mushrooms: Magic Mushrooms and Poisonous mushrooms. Magic mushrooms are the default mushrooms in the game and are also the result of the player destroying an insect or Centipede body segment. Poisonous Mushrooms are the result of the Scorpion touching a mushroom.

The game offers four difficulty levels: Novice, Standard, Advanced, and Expert. Game Variations include:

One Player The game can be played with one player.

Two Player Alternating Two players will take turns when the active player is bitten.

Dual Player Competition Two players will appear on the screen at the same time. Scoring is separate. Shots fired from one player will paralyze the other player.

Team Play Two players will appear on the screen at the same time. Scoring is combined. Shots fired from one player will not paralyze the other player.

Spider at close range - 900 points

Spider at medium range - 600 points

Flea - 200 points
