It is a single-screen single-player Game & Watch. In Game A, the player tosses two balls in the air. As the balls fall, the player must catch and toss them up again.

In Game B, the player must juggle three balls, and each successful catch rewards ten points instead of one. The highest possible score a user can obtain is 9,999 for Game A and 9,990 for Game B, due to 9,999 not being a multiple of 10.
