About Firebug

With only a slingshot in hand our mighty little Hero is set to fight the mighty flame throwing Alien. Only by using his immense strength can our endangered Hero spin and hurl his arsenal of fireballs to successfully destroy the enemy. But at the same time, he must be wary of the Alien's savage attacks and do what he can to dodge the deadly missiles, otherwise he will lose his chance to defeat his adversary.
