Reason for Award for Excellence

In terms of being a prominent idea, this game was a little lacking.
However, the expressiveness, game play, and overall look make this a very
high-quality game.
The operation in particular is very easy to understand and the game is
pleasant to play, and where this kind of action puzzle game tends to become
cumbersome with overdone rules, this game has been well designed.

Not only the graphics and the game play, but also the sound and the
interactive aspect, remind one that a video game should be a comprehensive
form of entertainment.
This does not mean that the play is complete—there is plenty of potential for
further expansion—and personally I highly recommend this game.

Work Introdution


This is an action puzzle game where characters
of two colors, black and white, head for the goal.

The characters can ride on blocks that are the
same color as themselves, but they must go
around blocks of other colors.
Taking into account the positioned blocks, the
characters head for the goal while their own colors
and the colors of the blocks change.

This is a high quality game with action of pushing
and pulling the blocks, gimmicks that return the
characters back to before 20, a world view with a
uniform monotone, and the background music
flowing in the background, etc.
