Rotate 3-D maze fields to manipulate gravity and direct a free-falling ball toward hidden goals. Players must build momentum to blast through bricks for shortcuts and bonuses while avoiding traps and dead ends. Success requires rapid manipulation of the terrain to complete these action-puzzle rounds before the time limit expires.
