==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
The player must use the {{kbd|Z}} and {{kbd|X}} keys, to direct "Dunk" (a member of "The Weetabix" gang, from the television commercials of the time) left and right, with {{kbd|M}} to make him throw his missile up at the Titchies, and {{kbd|Space}} to activate his shield; however, if Dunk gets hit by a bullet fired down at him by a Titchy his shield will activate automatically and drain some of his "Neet Weet" energy (displayed on the left side of the screen). Dunk is also not automatically equipped with missiles, as they are passed up to him from the bottom of the screen by "Bixy", "Crunch", "Brains" and "Brian", the other members of "The Weetabix" gang, so you will have to direct him towards them - and the Titchies will also move in a [[Galaxian]]-like formation (in that they ascend slowly up the screen, before flying down towards the ground). Once Dunk has killed all fourteen Titchies on the current level, his "Neet Weet" energy shall get replenished for the next level; the scoring system is also one of the simplest ever seen in a video game (10x the current level's number for each Titchy). The game will continue until Dunk runs out of "Neet Weet" energy despite it being replenished after every level - and the maximum possible score that the player can get in the game is 99990 while the maximum possible level they can reach is 99.
