Play Lady Bug Online
You're a ladybug scrambling through a shifting maze, flipping switches to trap those floating creeps while snagging letters—simple until the panic sets in. That maze won't stay put, and neither will your hands.
Lady Bug is a 1981 arcade game by Universal Co., Ltd., playable today through MAME. It arrived during a period when maze games were common, but it introduced a few twists that made it stand out without reinventing the wheel. You control a ladybug navigating a garden maze filled with enemies, and the goal is straightforward: collect all the dots while avoiding or outsmarting the pursuing critters.
You maneuver the ladybug through interconnected screens, using directional controls to flip special switches that rotate sections of the maze, altering enemy paths and creating safe routes. The main objective is to eat every dot in the maze while also spelling out the word "EXTRA" by collecting letters that appear, which awards bonus lives. The pace is methodical but tense; enemies become more persistent as you progress, and the maze's layout changes keep you constantly reassessing your route. It feels like a careful, tactical puzzle where every move matters, and the satisfaction comes from clearing screens through smart planning rather than raw speed.
