Game Progression
Guide the Chameleon Ball through all pipe pieces to progress. If you hit a dead end or fail to connect to the next piece, the game ends. Read ahead of the ball and quickly move pieces to create a path.
Piece Operation
Pieces in the up, down, left, and right rows centered on the Black Piece can be moved. To move a piece, move the arrow to the target piece and press the I button. The piece will move toward the Black Piece. White Pieces are fixed and cannot be moved.
