The gameplay is identical to the original handheld game. Beats N Bobs are exceptional in attention to detail in replicating original games. Check out their other apps. (No I’m not connected to them or on commission!) :-) **Developer response:** Hello. Thank you for leaving a great review that is appreciative of the detail put in. Its great to see it when people noticed the effort to make it so close to the original. Many thanks. Hope good fortune comes your way ### 5/5 — Excellent *2014-01-07* This was the first ever electronic game I owned as a kid!
