This is easy to do from Levels 2 - 4. The hearts/letters are blue until the first insect leaves the Bug Box. When it appears, the colors will cycle red to yellow. This will continue until all four insects are in the maze, but it will be difficult to track the longer all four are on the board. The color times break down like this: '''RED''': Less than a half second; '''YELLOW''': approximately four seconds; and '''BLUE''': approximately seven seconds. After Level 5, two insects will have to leave the den before the first color cycle. Once all four insects are in the maze, the difficulty increases for the remaining stages, but you should be able to keep some sembelance of the color cycle if you're able to isolate yourself long enough from insect danger. | This is easy to do from Levels 2 - 4.

Over the course of the game, you may be one letter away from getting that '''EXTRA''' or '''SPECIAL'''. The game may fall into a notorious habit of giving you the same combination of letters every board, particularly if you still have all lives remaining and a pretty decent score. Don't fret once you lose that life! You'll notice, if you survive long enough, the next level or two will give you that missing letter (s) because the re-run cycle has been broken by losing that life. Remember, in this game, you might not get to spell '''EXTRA''' until 100,000 or more points. .... literally! But again, be careful because the game may repeat this pattern. | Over the course of the game, you may be one letter away from getting that '''EXTRA''' or '''SPECIAL'''.
