Brush up your juggling skills by moving the juggler’s arms to catch the balls. Drop a single ball, and it’s game over! Nintendo first began releasing the Game & Watch series in 1980. This collection of games was available on portable LCD devices, and each title featured a game and a clock. Each Game & Watch title features two modes of play: GAME A (normal difficulty) and GAME B (more advanced play). While some controls have been changed in the DSiWare version to better suit the Nintendo DSi system, the appearance of the game itself has not been altered.

Gameplay
The game can be played in two difficulties: Game A and Game B. In Game A, the player must juggle two balls at a time, while in Game B, the player must juggle three balls at once. The player must move the character's arms in order to keep the balls in the air. Dropping a ball just once will result in the game ending, which is unlike later Game & Watch games where the player is given three lives.
