Charlie Brown attempts to throw a basketball into a hoop or roll a bowling ball to knock down pins. As the ball is in motion, the player it given a short string of characters to type.

The game tracks how many strings the player has correctly typed in time. The player can set the speed of the ball and the type of characters.
