Release & Industry Impact

This obstacles are the shelves of the supermarket and they have an empty space in the middle. When a shelf get close to the gum you have to trace the same shape of its empty spaces with your finger, on the screen. If the trace is correct, the gum will assume the same form of the space and will pass through it. If you fail once, the fat guy will be near to the gum; if you fail a second time, he will catch and eat it.

On the way, there are some power-ups that will help the gum to go further, making it invincible for a certain amount of time, or keeping the fat guy away. To use them, you will have to trace their shape on the screen.
