The game begins with a little intro. Professor Stinkbaum invented a device called the Zap-O-Matic, with which you can recycle any waste products and their "decay" is discharged through a "portal" to another dimension (Dimension X Crement). Millionaire Snotti Ragsdale, learning of this invention was employed in the laboratory of Professor. Then one day he saw an unknown villain abducts the main "unit", without which the mechanism can not work. To prevent global pollution, Ragsdale (superhero Bugermen), using the "portal", he went into another dimension. Here it needs to track down the villain and take away what he has stolen.
Gameplay
The main character in the game - a superhero Bugermen (born Boogerman.), Saving the planet from global pollution. Like any superhero, Bugermen has a unique and very original "superpowers". With their help, he has to go through several levels, to clean them from their enemies, fight bosses, and at the end to win the main villain.
Levels are designed as closed locations with lateral side-scrolling and 2D graphics. Each level is divided into a large three - four parts. They have a lot of different enemies, caches, bonuses and useful items. There are also obstacles such as chasms and traps. Sometimes it comes across "lift-teleport", resembling a huge nose (albeit somewhat different to the last level of "elevator"). Also present are "save points" - here they are in the form of rustic wooden toilet with BM inscription on the door. At the end of the levels are big bosses - very strong opponents.
Bosses (supervillains) have a considerable reserve of health and much more conventional opponents and the hero himself. It has its own certain "tactics" for each of the bosses. For example, during a battle with the first boss you need, jumping from one tree to another, dodge enemy attacks.
The enemies in the game - is the trolls and goblins, armed with spears, bats, ghosts, and other monsters of the cochlea; they are quite weak, but numerous. There are also more "strong" opponents. For example, one of them armed with a cudgel, which cause significant impacts, the other has a deadly cry, and the third is able to eat the useful items.
The game has a lot of useful items. For example, from the air valves, assembled at a level that you can build a "ladder" by which Bugermen gets to more life. Pepper gives the hero of "fire-breathing", some lumps of green mass increase "ammo", with the letter M bottle enhances the "armed", and the banks with the beans extend the range of "superpowers". Also useful items restocking of game points.
The game has an average level of complexity. It should be noted that the hero has a limited supply of health that can be completed in the course level (for this you need to collect red cloaks, like what is Bugermen). To destroy the protagonist, enemies enough to cause him about 2-3 strokes. At the same time, however, it is possible to replenish the supply of "life" after each level, and on the levels themselves are "save points" and a lot of prizes, which facilitates the passage.
