Gameplay
Players move a small triangle around the grid, while attempting to avoid the diamonds that are also moving around the grid. Reaching the end of the grid teleports the player back to the front of the grid to gain points. The game is played on a 3×10 grid that is displayed at angle to make it appear to be in 3-D. The base gameplay is essentially the same as in the Mattel Electronic Football (1977) LED handheld with the enemies in the same formation 3:1:1
