Read full descriptionHide full description
Your job is to lead the character Red to the next tube. You can draw lines on the screen that Red can roll or bounce on. As you clear the levels the game gets harder and you will be challenged with brain teasing problems. A clean good looking game perfect to open up when you are bored to clear some levels
