A compulsive, multicolour game of speed and skill
You are in a square room which is divided into much smaller squares. Your sole aim is to change the colours of the smaller squares not once but twice. If you cross them a third time, they will go back to the original colour.
It sounds easy - but it isn't. Not only is it difficult to run over all the tiles just twice but there is a remote-controlled robot also patrolling the room and, as the sands of time run out, he will fire a four-way death-dealing laser.
See if you can chage the floor colour by running Checkout Charlie around the room without him being zapped.
If you find the magic square before 30 seconds runs out then you will get the chance to score bonus points. The bonus points are shown in the box in the bottom right-hand corner. Press the space bar to stop the bonus points on a high number.
