Gameplay
As coloured blocks slowly scroll onto the screen, the player must reconfigure them into sets of the same colour, at which time the blocks disappear and points are gained. There are some major differences that separates the game from being a Tetris clone. Instead of the blocks being made up of three or four squares arranged into various shapes, they are all the same shape, a simple square. Their only variable is the difference in colour.
Like some jigsaw puzzle games, there is one empty square on the screen, at which the player can slide the blocks around one at a time in an attempt to arrange into three colour long strings (vertically or horizontally). The blocks appear as one complete row from the bottom of the screen, rather than the top. The player attempts to keep the blocks from reaching the top of the screen before the various required goals are achieved. If that does happen, the player loses a life and has to start the level again.
