The levels in Q*Bert are designed as pyramids with various colors that you need to change them to in order to advance to the next level. The game also consists of other characters which is known on the back of the flyer as “Who’s who, and what’s what”. You have a green character with glasses known as “Slick”, he is no threat to Q*Bert if you touch him you earn points but he changes the cubes he hops on back to their original color. Another character like his brother slick, “Sam” makes Q*Bert’s job harder by changing the colors of the cubes he touches. You also have a green dot / ball when Q*Bert touches it the magic ball will freeze the board for a short time enabling Q*Bert to freely hop around to try and complete his task. When a purple ball reaches the bottom it becomes “Coily”. This snake villain chases Q*Bert trying to smash him. Other enemies include a “Wrong way” character that travels sideways and will stop Q*Bert if they touch. Another enemy just like wrong way is “Ugg” he travels sideways and is dangerous to touch. Lastly you will notice floating discs around the level, you want to lour the snake / coily to the edge of the pyramid & hop on that disc!
