Gameplay

• The player controls a worker holding a manhole cover.

• Pedestrians constantly walk across four paths (top, bottom, left, right).

• Your job: move the manhole cover underneath them so they don’t fall into the open sewer.

• As the game speeds up, multiple people appear at once, and it becomes a frantic juggle to cover all four crossings.

• Game A: Fewer pedestrians, slower pace.

• Game B: More pedestrians, faster pace, much harder.
