1. In stage 1, allow all enemy insects (bees and butterflies) to fly and gather in the air without firing a single shot. You can place your spaceship in the center of the screen as the insects will not drop any bombs or crash into your ship.

2. Once all the enemy insects have exited, make a note of the two insects on the far left of the first and second rows (in this case they are bees and colored blue).

3. Insects will fly down trying to crash into your ship or drop bombs. You can shoot the rest of the insects except the two bees mentioned in step 2.

4. Once all other insects have been shot, strategically place your ship in the left corner of the screen. Take note of the time.

5. The two bees will continue to fly and re-enter the screen. Let this process continue for approximately 10 minutes. During the 10 minute wait, you must be vigilant and not allow any bombs to hit your ship. A bomb may appear on the left side of the screen that does not belong to the two bees. Once you get hit, you have to wait another 10 minutes, which can be frustrating.

6. After about 10 minutes, you will notice that the two bees will stop dropping their bombs. Let them fly three more times towards the screen to confirm that they have indeed dropped all their bombs.

7. Once you are sure the two bees are not dropping any more bombs, you can knock them down and proceed to stage 2.

8. From stage 2 onwards, all insects will not drop any bombs. This will allow you to play the game for as long as you can, as long as you don’t allow the bugs to crash into your ship. From experience, I managed to play on stage 200 for many hours until the game room screen became blurry. This helped me save a lot of money. Previously, if I didn’t apply this strategy, my game would have ended at stage 25 at the most.

9. Take advantage of this technique by allowing your ship to be captured. Once you get the ship back, you will have two ships side by side. This will help you in the bonus stages to achieve a perfect score. With two ships you can also get through each stage faster. There you have it, the secrets revealed on how to play this game “forever”.
