QBillion (キュービリオン)[2] is a puzzle video game for the original Nintendo Game Boy. It was released by SETA Corporation in 1990.
In QBillion you control a mouse that, for reasons that are left unclear, has to reduce stacks of blocks to units one block high.[2] This is represented by a grid in which several squares have numbers, representing how many blocks are there.[2] The player can move a single block around, or push a block down off a stack.[2] However, to push a block the player must be standing on a block one level lower than the block - i.e. to push a block off the top of a three-block stack, the player must be standing on a two-block stack.[2]
Remake
