WELCOME!

My first TV-game was Coleco Vision. I got it as a birthday present when I turned seven. I got couple of games with it, including Ladybug. I liked it, so did my mom and sister. So twenty years later I decided to make a remake of it.

Ladybug is an addictive game so I hope you also like it. And most of all this game is very easy to learn and master.
