Gameplay
The game requires the PlayStation Eye to boot, as the camera is used both to maneuver the ball and to navigate menus by moving the player's own hands instead of using a gamepad. The PlayStation Eye's focal length must be set to match the standard field of view (Red). The main objective is to guide an orb through five towers: City I (very easy), City II (easy), City III (intermediate), City IV (hard), and City V (very hard). Using body and hands, the player creates slopes to roll the orb into mystical cages of energy while avoiding gargoyles. The player's image is captured by the camera and mapped onto the tower's mosaic-like surface; each motion raises tiles to form slopes that control the orb's direction. There are four styles of trials: Trial of Value, Trial of Caution, Trial of Speed, and Trial of Control.
