- Doctor Bacteria Description

Doctor Bacteria (バイキンはかせ) is the tenth game in Rhythm Tengoku.

Rhythm Tengoku
In this rhythm game, you are a doctor protecting the yellow micro-organism by stabbing all the bacteria blobs with forks.

Gameplay
The player uses the D-Pad (+) to shoot at the blobs from one of four directions, depending on their placement on the map. Pink ones will take two hits, and will continue to a different direction, meaning a player couldn't use the same side of the D-pad twice when killing a pink one. A green one has three hits, and follows the same properties as the pink.

Controls

 * Left: Shoot Left
 * Right: Shoot Right
 * Up: Shoot up
 * Down: Shoot down

Hit or Miss

 * Hit: The blob will be killed.
 * Barely: The blob will be killed, but barely touch the fork. A barely counts as a hit.
 * Miss: The blob will continue on its way. The player has multiple chances to kill the blob, however, when it makes it to the bottom right, it's done.

Rating Notes
