After choosing Play, this screen will appear. Simple math problems fall from the top of the screen. Press the numbers on the keyboard or numeric keypad which are the answer to the math problem that is lowest on the screen. After typing the number that is the answer, press the Enter key on your keyboard.
If your answer is correct, a laser beam will shoot from the penguin in the front and explode the problem. If incorrect, try again quickly.

If you don't answer a problem in time the numbers will crash into a building at the bottom of the screen, destroying it. When all the buildings are destroyed, the game is over.

As you answer questions correctly, the score increases and the problems fall more quickly.
When the game is over, press the "Esc" key to return to the start streen and there you can exit or begin over.
