Gameplay is relatively simple. You push and pull blocks in a structure to climb up and rescue the child. The difficulty comes from arranging the platforms so you can climb up since you can only go up one step at a time. There are 2 modifiers that add to the gameplay; the manholes and pullout switches. The former allows Mallo to travel between the two points as long as both sides aren't covered. The latter pushes out all blocks of its respective color and sometimes pushing off Mallo. There are in total 250 puzzles in the game plus additional levels that can be added through scanning QR codes. |
