Qbert brings classic arcade action to your screen, challenging you to transform a pyramid into the target color by hopping across its tiles. Each jump changes a tile, but in later levels you'll need to step on tiles multiple times – or avoid doing so too often. All the while, enemies such as Coily the snake, Slick, Sam, and falling balls try to stop you. Fortunately, floating discs at the pyramid's edge can save you – leap onto one at the right moment and Qbert is carried safely back to the top while Coily plunges off the board.
