Gameplay
Gameplay
The game's unique controls are two horizontally moving levers, one for each player. Both levers move in an arc across the front of the game, but will collide when they are close together. The levers cause players to physically push each other aside as they direct their characters to collide on-screen, literally impeding each other's progress.
