You are presented with a quiet city scene where you control heaps of rubble dropped from the sky by a tiny alien (Minibyte), who decided to "pick on the big people" by planting his "Portable Entertainment System" (a giant crane) over Earth. The goal of the game comes in three tiers: to score by squishing people, play pentomino, and challenge your reflexes as blocks fall at random speeds. The traditional set of blocks are mixed with "surprise blocks" which you have to quickly find a place for in the grid. Even the individual block tiles are purposefully vague and hard to distinguish to add to the chaos. The game is very challenging to ones reflexes. The goal is to keep your grid under control as long as possible so that you can continue scoring on pedestrians. Only those with quick fingers can survive.

Before you can fight the aliens you must equip your gun using the inventory screen, by dragging the gun into your hands. To fire the gun, you must reload it first by clicking the revolver icon on the lower-right side of the screen. Items you pick up along the way, must be equipped the same way before you can use it.

Keys:
Direction left/right: Move left/right
Direction up: jump
Spacebar: fire gun (if equipped)
Run: equip your horse
