Description by Arcaderom Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Zap those bugs in this free arcade game. Help Garden Gnome to protect his flowers 🌼🌷🌷🌼 against the hungry bugs 🐜🐜🐛🐛, caterpillars and grasshoppers in an easy to play shooter game. Control the Garden Gnome in the battle against the bug swarm. Garden Gnome is attempting to protect his flowers against the grasshopper swarm and other bugs. Using the bug spray and watering can, Garden Gnome fights to save his precious flowers.

Once upon a time a Lepercon's cousin Garden Gnome lived in the small yellow pumpkin house. There was a beautiful garden in front of the pumpkin house. One day, while Garden Gnome was watering his flowers 🌷🌻🌹, a sinister swarm of insects 🐝🐝🐝 appeared suddenly. Garden Gnome in panic took his bug spray and ran to protect his precious flowers in the battle with the malicious bug swarm.

As the Garden Gnome your goal in each level is to water every flower on the screen and make defense by shooting incoming bugs. Occasionally when shooting the bugs, power-up is dropped down. Power-ups help to improve shooting power of the bug spray for the period of time or slow down the insect in order to improve your defense. The game is intended for all ages, from those who grew up with classic arcade action games to kids. Garden gnome game is playable using hardware keyboard, bluetooth game controller, TV remote or touch screen virtual gamepad with the buttons layout resembling classic console controller or arcade cabinet controlls.

Take your bug spray, shoot em down and defend your flowers!
