About game
Retro gaming fans who enjoy quick reflexes will appreciate the frantic energy found in Pssst. You control a diligent robot protecting a fragile plant from waves of hungry invaders. Pests crawl toward the stem from every direction, and you must pick up the matching color spray to eliminate them. Clicking or tapping the wrong color simply stalls your enemy for a few moments, so precision matters. Clearing the stem allows your plant to climb toward the sun, eventually reaching full bloom. Pssst brings back the spirit of 80s arcade action with fifty distinct levels to conquer. You gain access to helpful items like chemical bombs that wipe the screen clean when things get too intense. Fertilizer provides an extra growth boost to help you finish stages before the pests swarm. Play this colorful challenge for free in your browser without any downloads.
How to play
Controls:
• Move — arrows / WASD or the virtual joystick (swipe on the left half of the screen).
• Shoot — space, click or tap on the right half.
• Step onto a can at a station to pick up a spray — its colour decides which pest you can kill.
Rules:
• A spray only kills a pest of its own colour. Hit the wrong colour and the pest just freezes for a couple of seconds.
• While any pest is attached to the stem, the flower won't grow. Keep the stem clear and the plant climbs.
• Grow the flower into bloom to win the level. If the plant dies or you run out of lives, it's game over.
Boosts:
• Chemical bomb — wipes out every pest near Robbie.
• Fertilizer — temporarily speeds up the flower's growth.
Every 3 levels cleared earns you an extra life!
