Gameplay
Players build boulders and roll them into enemy gates as fast as they can. Once they break through they want to squish everything. This seemingly simple task is made more difficult because both sides pepper each other's lanes with traps, obstacles, and defenses. Unlike the first two games in the series, the game lets players make different courses which are conquered during competition.
