The game uses a third-person, pseudo-3D court view where the player moves Peatron to intercept and return the ball. Matches are played as one-on-one squash duels, with the ball bouncing between both sides until an opponent misses or is outmaneuvered. Positioning, timing, and angle control are central, since returns can be aimed to force awkward movement or create openings. Progress is tournament-based, and winning each match advances you to the next opponent.
Peatron
The robot protagonist controlled by the player in the intergalactic squash tournament.
Space Pirates
The pirate opponents tied to the takeover of Animal Star and the tournament challenge.
Stay near the center line whenever possible so you can respond to both straight and angled shots. Use placement more than power; forcing the opponent to move is often better than trying to end points quickly. When rallies speed up, focus on clean returns and safe positioning before attempting aggressive shots.
Tips and tricks
Anticipate the ball path early and move before the bounce whenever possible.
