PLEBS

## Description

_PLEBS_ is a Blitz/Air Attack-style demolition game with a twist. As per the
convention, a bomber zips back and forth over a group of structures, losing
altitude with each pass across the screen. The player’s task is to time the
dropping of armaments, to ensure the buildings’ speedy destruction before the
bomber descends low enough to crash into them. In this particular case
however, the condemned buildings are robot factories, and they’re still
churning out robots… more precisely, Publically Licensed Electronic Burden
Shifters (PLEBS).

These mechanical nuisances keep moving until they encounter an obstacle, and
can climb on each other to create piles that slowly become a growing danger to
air traffic. The PLEBS stream forth from the factories until the robot
generators are destroyed. To deal with PLEBS and buildings alike, the player
is given two types of weapons: squashers (an unlimited supply), and Super-
Squashers (one or more, depending on the mission) for more extensive damage.
Once a factory is squashed flat the action moves on to the next one, and the
player is given a password for the new level.
