When they reach the top and you have the power zone available, you can ram them to destroy them. Destroying enough of them in a single run will increase your score multiplier. | When they reach the top and you have the power zone available, you can ram them to destroy them.

If you don't have a power zone available and they touch you, it will grab one of your hooves and kill you. While you can counter by firing the bomb, there is only a small window of opportunity in doing so. | If you don't have a power zone available and they touch you, it will grab one of your hooves and kill you.

Boffins can travel in two general directions. The first one is vertical, where it advances or retreats from the top. When travelling in this direction, any hit will only knock it back slightly and kills it only if it's pushed off the grid. Unsuccessful pushing attempts will only anger the boffin, causing it to approach at a faster rate. | Boffins can travel in two general directions.
