Gameplay

Geon is a fast-paced arcade game that requires players to take control of an emotionally themed cube and direct it around a semi-transparent grid. The cube collects the pellets and the aim of the game is to fill the cube with pellets and then deposit them in your opponent's goal. The aim is to score five 'goals' against the opponent (either human or computer controlled) before they do.

Each grid has two sides, and the game begins with players being placed on opposite sides of the grid. Players are not restricted to their 'home' side, and may traverse to the edge of the grid to 'flip' over to their opponents side at any time.
