Q*bert is a popular arcade game. The goal is to change all of the tiles on a pyramid to the target color. To do this you guide Q*bert around the pyramid, and every tile he hops on will change color. On early levels, a single hop will change the tile to the desired color, but on later levels, you may need to hop on a tile multiple times or even avoid hopping on a tile multiple times! Trying to stop Q*bert are many different creatures wandering around the board, including Coily the snake, Slick and Sam, and falling balls. On the edge of the board are floating discs; if Q*bert jumps on one of these discs when the snake is in pursuit, the snake will fall off the board while Q*bert is safely transported to the top.
The gameplay involves navigating Q*bert through the pyramid, avoiding enemies and obstacles while trying to change all the tiles to the target color. The game requires strategic thinking and quick reflexes as you try to outsmart the creatures and make it to the top of the pyramid. With increasing levels of difficulty comes new challenges and opportunities for Q*bert to prove himself.
