About the Game

In this action-puzzle game, your goal is to clear each scene by collecting all the dots. There are 30 unique scenes to conquer.

You control the main character using either a keyboard, controller, or on-screen joystick. Navigate the stage, avoid enemies, and use blocks strategically to survive.

Two types of enemies chase you relentlessly. If they catch you, you lose a life. However, you're not defenseless—by pushing blocks and dropping them from above, you can crush enemies. Be careful though: if you're crushed by a block yourself, you'll also lose a life.

Each scene has a time limit. If time runs out, you lose a life. Lose all your lives, and it’s game over.

You can restart the current scene at the cost of one life using the [RESTART] button, or return to the title screen using the [QUIT] button.

Once you clear a scene, it becomes available for selection from the title screen. Use the [UP] and [DOWN] buttons to choose a previously cleared scene, and use [TO LEFT] or [TO RIGHT] to move the position of the on-screen buttons for comfort.

Can you clear all 30 scenes and master every challenge?
