Action

The gameplay is similar to breakout. It has a bat (due to the bead shape " caterpillar ") and a plasma ball that floats weightlessly in space. With this racket you have to direct the ball so that it hits the stones, which then disappear. To get to the next level, all stones must be destroyed. However, if the ball touches the bottom of the board, lost a life, of which one has five. If one loses the last life, the game is over.

A very interesting role the stones take one. They are occupied with varied properties, provided the ball depending on the weight with greater force, bring a magnet, double speed or other properties.
