Q-bert — About this game
Jump between cubes to change every step’s color, avoiding red balls and Coily while using discs to escape. A round ends only when all steps have reached the required color. Later levels require repeated color changes, so a route that worked before may need another pass. Green balls and escape discs provide ways to get clear of Coily; keep their positions in mind rather than hopping into a dead end.
