Game Play

The game has four courses: Present, Near Future, Future and Space. Each course lasts 120 seconds. If time runs out, the game is over. If you make a round before time runs out, you will get a bonus score for the unused time after you have reached your goal and the allotted time will be reset. Making two rounds along the present course allows you to advance to the next course. The game ends when you have finished all four courses.
