You are a
yo-yo (an electric one no less), your job is to eliminate all of the dots on the screen without touching the little evil
sprites which move around the board. Play takes place on a square board and the dots you must consume change their pattern for each new level.
The gameplay is reminiscent of something like
Pac-man meets
Arkanoid meets
Fantavision (the eye-candy game released with the
PS2). You consume these little dots, some of which make you immune to
baddies (a la
Pac-man and
Arkanoid) and you move about the level by grabbing the nearest little dot (a la
Fantavision).
Cabinet:
Can also, theoretically, run
Qix. This, however, requires either hardware modifications or a
hacked ROM because is has what is called a
Coin Processor Board, a device intended to prevent ROM swaps. Other games that could run on similar hardware include
Zoo Keeper,
Space Dungeon and
Kram.
