In "versus" mode one picks a character to play and progresses through several levels playing the other characters. Each character features its own special ability which hinders the opponent's progress. For example, one character throws ducks on the other playing field which force the ball into different trajectories; another drops bombs which harm the other player. "Puzzle" mode is more like traditional Breakout games, offering oddly designed puzzles in the shape of numbers, animals or rooms. Both modes offer several levels of difficulty from which to choose.
