Gameplay[edit]
You start the game with 5 life bars and 9 paintball grenades. The goal is to shoot your paintballs at all the enemies in a first-person view without getting shot too many times. There is also a top-down view as the player controls his character on a map. Rarely, you will get a power-up where it adds half a life bar or an extra paintball grenade. Sometimes, you will get a random minigame where you shoot paintball bombs thrown at you. It was one of the many games on the Game Boy Color to use a password system. Essentially, the game is capture the flag. You press A to shoot and B to throw a grenade which, when thrown at the same spot an enemy is, will eliminate them. Shooting them (with one shot as that's all that's needed) will also eliminate them. When encountering an area with enemies (which is random), the game automatically switches from a top-down view to the first-person view. In the area with enemies, an arrow will guide you in knowing your enemy's location. After defeating a horde of enemies, an arrow will appear on the spot where you had encountered the enemies, giving the player a small hint at where the flag is located.
