Gameplay
Q*bert is an Action/Puzzle game on board with a pseudo-three-dimensional (3D) appearance. The player begins each level of the game at the top of a 28 cube pyramid. The goal is to hop from cube to cube diagonally which causes the cubes to change color. When all cubes on a level have been converted to the target color, the player progresses to the next level.
The player faces several different enemies in his/her quest to convert the color of the cubes:
- Coily - A bouncy snake that begins as an egg at the bottom of each pyramid. Often considered the main agonist of the game.
