An unrelenting series of shapes rain down from the top, and it is your job to fire small blocks at them to form squares or rectangles. The graphics and sound are both simplistic, but do their job well enough. It's never hard to see what's going on, and there's a good deal of skill required in choosing which shapes to take out first. As with Tetris , you can either play progressive levels of difficulty, where you have to clear a certain number of shapes before moving on to the next, faster stage, or a single, marathon session, where you continue playing until defeated. The scores are saved onto the cartridge, so the latter mode offers particularly good value.
Some variety is added by the powerups that certain shapes release once completed.
All in all, this is a fairly addictive little title. The only drawback is that it fails to supersede Tetris in any way. If you're yearning for another puzzler, though, then this might be ideal. It is not, however, worth the price of the cartridge alone. It sees you, a top-class athlete, competing against challengers from all over the world in a variety of sporting events.
