. The player can step on any type of tile except a wall. A tile can be either an empty space, a wall, an object, or an arrow.

Shifting the map

When the player steps on an arrow, the row or column of the map is shifted in the direction of the arrow. For example, stepping on an up-arrow shifts the column containing the arrow, while stepping on a right-arrow shifts the row. Shifting a row or column does not move the player, so it appears that the map is shifting beneath the player. Arrows can be stepped on multiple times. When a tile is pushed off the edge of the map, it wraps around to the other side.

Eliminating Objects

When a row or column is shifted, the objects are shifted as well. If two or more objects come into contact, they are eliminated. Eliminating all the objects moves the player to the next level. If there is only one object of any type remaining, the level is unfinishable, since there is no other object to eliminate it with.

Items

On the two easier levels of the game, the player can use items to assist with solving the levels. Items do not exist on the Hard difficulty mode. Use of items is not necessary to complete the game, as every level is solvable without items. * Lightning Bolt - Destroys all walls within a 3x3 area surrounding the player.
