While the game draws inspiration from the anime (which itself drew inspiration from [[Adventure Island]]) the game does not necessarily follow any of the episodes of the show.  Instead, the game consists of four stages.  In the first stage, you control Bug-tte Honey, who has the ability to fly about the screen.  At the end of the first stage, Honey rescues Takahashi by smashing the cage he is being held captive in.  From that point forward, the player controls Takahashi.  In each stage, the player must reveal the locations of eight hidden eggs which, when collected, send the player to a [[Breakout]]/[[Arkanoid]]-like stage.  In these stages, four different letters will drop from the blocks, but only one letter is safe to catch.  Catching any of the others costs the player one life.  In order to progress from one stage to the next, the player must know which letters to catch.  Each of the eight letters per stage spell out a password.

The game was never released outside of Japan, possibly because the anime was not broadcast outside of Japan either.  However, the game is completely playable by English speaking players.

While the game draws inspiration from the anime (which itself drew inspiration from Adventure Island) the game does not necessarily follow any of the episodes of the show. Instead, the game consists of four stages. In the first stage, you control Bug-tte Honey, who has the ability to fly about the screen. At the end of the first stage, Honey rescues Takahashi by smashing the cage he is being held captive in. From that point forward, the player controls Takahashi. In each stage, the player must reveal the locations of eight hidden eggs which, when collected, send the player to a Breakout/Arkanoid-like stage. In these stages, four different letters will drop from the blocks, but only one letter is safe to catch. Catching any of the others costs the player one life. In order to progress from one stage to the next, the player must know which letters to catch. Each of the eight letters per stage spell out a password.

The game was never released outside of Japan, possibly because the anime was not broadcast outside of Japan either. However, the game is completely playable by English speaking players.
