As the pointer rotates endlessly, players can only control it using four buttons: two to reverse its direction-of-rotation (either at-will or when it reaches a connecting dot) and two to move between connecting dots (in either same or reversed direction).</p><p>The game was later ported by <a href="/axes-art-amuse/3010-3818/" data-ref-id="3010-3818">Axes Art Amuse</a> for the <a href="/super-nintendo-entertainment-system/3045-9/" data-ref-id="3045-9">Super Famicom</a>, <a href="/playstation/3045-22/" data-ref-id="3045-22">Sony PlayStation</a>, and <a href="/saturn/3045-42/" data-ref-id="3045-42">Sega Saturn</a>, all of which were released exclusively in Japan by <a href="/tokuma-shoten-publishing-co-ltd/3010-3526/" data-ref-id="3010-3526">Tokuma Shoten</a> in 1995 (SFC) and 1996 (PS1, Saturn).
