The aim of the game
===================

... is to grow a flower and to stop the bugs from eating it. You have three
kinds of pesticide with which to kill the bugs; each kills a specific type of
bug.

The cans of pesticide start off randomly placed in the ten shelves to either
side of the growing area; you can pick up a can from here by moving to it
(you must *not* be below the shelf), and can place it on any empty shelf.

The bugs crawl (and later, fly) in through gaps near the shelves; this can
make retrieval of the cans somewhat hazardous, since the bugs are poisonous.

Every now and then, a bonus item will be placed on a shelf. You can collect
this for extra points (and a small boost to the plant's growth) - but you
must not be carrying a can of pesticide in order to do so.

When the plant reaches a certain height, the flower will open, and you will
be moved to the next level.

Oh, and the cans' nozzles sometimes don't work immediately...
