About this game

Beany Bopper puts you in control of Bopper, whose goal is to stun and capture Beanies. You can also capture Bouncing Orange Eyeballs and various Falling Objects; stunning these items is not required, but it slows them down.

Touching an unstunned Beany costs a life. Shooting four Beanies in a row without losing a Bopper awards a bonus Bopper. Two game options change how Beanies move: they either bounce off the screen walls or pass through them.
