In it, players control a factory where they are tasked to launch Nubby, a living ball, into a board of pegs to generate higher and higher numbers continuously.[2]
The pegs are all worth different amounts, and players must earn enough points to meet the quota for each round. If they fail to do so, the sun will explode. In between sets of rounds, a shop will pop up with items that grant abilities available for purchase. There's a vial underneath the quota that fills up every time the player scores points. The player wins money if they exceed the quota and fill up the vial. The game also features a perk system and special rounds to diversify runs.[3]
