Spin the sphere and drive things into it! Break the sphere by driving everything in — and finish it off with the final wedge! Time your shots carefully and aim precisely. Your final rating depends on how well you play! There are 4 unique stages, each with its own theme: Sticks: Drive square sticks into the white sphere. Earth: Drive vegetables and buildings into the Earth! You can even demolish structures! Fruit: Drive fruits into the icy orb — but be quick! Pollen: Smash spiky pollen onto the rotating core. Can you drive everything in without hitting the wedge too soon?
