3	The player controls a bouncing ball with the fire button controlling the height of its bouncing and direction controls steering it around the map. It is possible to fall off the edge of the level or to fall through gaps between tiles. There are nine levels, each one being a collection of square tiles containing a number of puzzles. Every puzzle has two black cubes that turn white when the ball touches for a period of time before turning black again. The player is required to quickly hit both cubes so that both of them turn white at the same time. There are other features such as flying platforms, conveyor belts, adhesive surfaces, spiked balls and the like which will either help the player or hinder him/her. There are five balls, and there's a time limit that has to be beaten.
