Gameplay
The object of the game is to move a marble down an isometric field from one point to another, making sure not to fall of ledges or be damaged in other ways. The original arcade release relied heavily on a trackball controller, but the console ports rely on directional pad or another peripheral, meaning the control is less accurate. On the PC-9801 VM, the mouse is used to simulate the trackball, though the arrow keys may also be used to move the ball in the on-screen direction of the key press. For example, 🡩 will move the marble vertically up on the screen, with the respective effect in the arena.
