[edit] Story

Chew Man Fu has set a curse to rob the world of fried rice, egg rolls, and all its other favourite foods. To stop him the player must work through 550 rounds, clearing each by placing four different coloured balls into the appropriately coloured hole.

[edit] Gameplay

Gameplay is somewhat similar to that of Pengo, as the single-screen levels are inhabited by enemies, who can be killed by the firing of one of the balls. When a ball hits an enemy, it will continue moving in the same direction, intervening walls, and pushing the player backwards slightly. Blocks can also be moved at a more casual speed, including round corners. Once a block is placed onto its so includes a small bonus Kick-Ball game for two players, which doubles as practice with the control system.
