Object
The object of the game was to guide a small animal, the head of which resembled a rabbit with the horn of a unicorn, around a playing field gathering colored balls. The player had a set amount of time to clear the board without running into itself or a wall, or letting itself grow too long. If a player did any of these, or ran out of time, he lost a life (referred to as a "fail" in the game) and had to restart the level from the beginning. Failing four times ended the game; no extra lives were offered at any point in the game.

Famous quotes containing the word object:
“...if we would be and do all that as a rational being we should desire, we must resolve to govern ourselves; we must seek diversity of interests; dread to be without an object and without mental occupation; and try to balance work for the body and work for the mind.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
“No deep and strong feeling, such as we may come across here and there in the world, is unmixed with compassion. The more we love, the more the object of our love seems to us to be a victim.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
“The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
