Lady Bug is a maze chase arcade game where you control a ladybug collecting dots and bonus items while avoiding enemy insects. The defining mechanic: movable gates throughout the maze that you can pass through to rotate them, changing pathways for both you and enemies. This gate system turns each screen into a dynamic puzzle—block pursuers, open escape routes, or trap yourself if you're careless. You'll navigate through single-screen mazes filled with turnstiles, skulls that end your run on contact, and letters that spell bonus words for points. The layout shifts constantly based on which gates you've rotated, demanding spatial awareness beyond simple pattern memorization. It's maze-chase fundamentals with a mechanical twist that rewards planning a few moves ahead.
