Gameplay
The game involves players tilting their Wii Remote (or iOS device), or leaning on their Wii Balance Board from side to side in order to guide a ball through a horizontal maze and into an exit pod. Instead of directly controlling the ball, the player's actions rotate the entire play area around the ball.
The game features 5 different types of balls to guide, each with unique properties that alter the way they handle, and over 60 levels with difficulty gradually adjusted based on the player's skill level. The WiiWare version also features 4 player simultaneous multiplayer.
