## Description
In the 1980s, breakfast cereal manufacturer, Weetabix created a British TV
advertising campaign for their cereal, turning the Weetabix biscuits into
characters called Dunk, Bixie, Crunch, Brains and Brian. This led to a
computer game starring Dunk and his mission is to destroy all the Titchies who
have set out to destroy the biscuits themselves. Based on Space Invaders, the
game is a single screen shooter viewed from the side with Dunk on the bottom
of the screen and the Titchies at the top in formation. The Titchies mainly
stay in formation but will occasionally move about the screen elsewhere.
Moving left or right, Dunk has to collect a Weetarocket and fire it upwards to
remove a Titchie while avoiding the bolts dropped from above. If Dunk is about
to get hit by a bolt then he can make his Weet Force Shield appear to remove
the bolt. The shield will always appear if a bolt is close to Dunk but if he
doesn’t make it appear himself then this drains his Neet Weet Energy. Moving
about the screen and using rockets also drains his energy and lose it all and
it is game over. Once all Titichies have been destroyed then it is onto the
next harder and faster level. There are five levels in total and any of these
can be selected before the start of the game.
