HOW TO PLAY: ARE YOU READY FOR THE CHALLENGE?
Based on the wildly popular segment of the Japanese television show, Uchan Nanchan's Blazing Challenger, the object of Irritating Stick is to traverse a three-dimensional labyrinth. The maze is electrically charged and will deliver a "shock" if you touch any of the edges.
There is a time limit on each of the mazes. Run out of time and you'll have to settle for mere consolation prizes.
