The game uses the Virtual Boy’s stereoscopic presentation to place falling tetromino-like pieces inside a three-dimensional container. Players move pieces across horizontal and depth axes, rotate them, and drop them into position to form complete planes. Clearing layers opens space for later pieces, while poor stacking can quickly trap the playfield. Progress is mainly single-player and level-based, with increasing speed and tighter spatial management demands.

Strategy
Keep the center area open whenever possible, and avoid building too high in the depth direction too early. Because judging distance can be tricky in 3D, take an extra moment before locking pieces in place. Leave room for long pieces and use low, even foundations to reduce the chance of dead ends. Stable stacking is more valuable than forcing risky clears.
