The game uses a side-view arcade setup where Stanley moves along the bottom of the screen and fires pesticide upward or downward. The objective is to drive insects to the top of the greenhouse while keeping Donkey Kong from reaching the flower beds. Enemies appear in waves, often moving in patterns that force constant repositioning. As stages advance, enemy speed and density increase, so success depends on precise movement, timing, and maintaining safe lanes for retreat.

Stanley

The playable greenhouse worker who uses pesticide spray to defend the flowers.

Donkey Kong

The series mascot who appears as the main pressure point and antagonist here.

Focus on enemies near the lower area and flower beds before they crowd your movement lanes. Controlling space is more important than chasing every enemy immediately. Keep Donkey Kong and the insect waves on the same side when possible so your spray covers multiple threats. When the screen gets crowded, stabilize the center of the playfield first and then clean up the remaining enemies.
