BACKGROUND You are in a huge 64 storey automated industrial plant that is used for the production and storage of deadly Confuzion Bombs.

The assembly lines consist of sliding pallets which were used for the movement of components. The pallets are left covered in sections of fuzewire.

SPRINKLER SYSTEM In certain areas the factory sprinkler system releases water droplets which will extinguish the spark if they collide with it. 2 PLAYER CONSIDERATION OPTION Whilst competing with opponents who can amass 6 bonus sparks in the time it takes to lose all yours, Confuzion allows you to restart your game without having to wait for the other player to finish.
