Wow!! Somehow weird creatures appeared from the pipes!! Pull the ball with your fingers and shoot it and hit these weird creatures! It's so exciting if you get many combos! ■ Story This world is filled with many pipes, and strange creatures are living in the pipes. There are 17 places in this world. In each place, a creature like a ball named "Master" is living. "Master" hates weird creatures which come from pipes. "Master" likes to defeat them. It's "Master"'s hobby. Maybe everyone can't understand the situation, but just play it, and feel it, don't think. ■ How to play the game Creatures living in each place are different.
