Introduction[edit]
The rivals run into the sand pen, chased by the solo player. The solo player stops at the grassy area, and the camera focuses on the sand pen.
Gameplay[edit]
The solo player attempts to eliminate all the other players by drawing lines in the sand around them. If a complete shape is made, it darkens slightly, and any players inside its perimeter jump and are eliminated. If the solo player draws a line too long without connecting it, the beginning of the line is erased. If the solo player eliminates all the rivals within 30 seconds, the solo player is victorious. If at least one rival remains after 30 seconds are up, the rivals are victorious.
