Gameplay

Players must try to avoid getting crushed by the blocks falling from the sky. To do so, they must quickly and simultaneously press every button shown on each of the blocks they are carrying. If both players survive for a few seconds, another block falls, requiring the players to press two buttons simultaneously. If both players still survive, another block falls, making a total of three, then four, five, and finally six. After that, the player who presses the buttons slower gets crushed and loses. However, if both players get crushed at the same time, the minigame ends in a draw.

Ending
