Gameplay
The game is divided into days and weeks, and every day the player changes from Grace and Savannah, each with different stories. On Grace's stages, she is waiting in line to get to a store. She tries to shorten the line by picking up bystanders and throwing them at others. The bystanders are divided into colors; if the player gets three of the same color touching, they will fly off, shortening the line. Grace can clear the stage by clearing the line before the store opens. Savannah's stages have people forming around her. However, they are trying to get to a Red Button, and if they are successful in pushing it, will send Savannah falling to her death into a black hole. Savannah rolls people instead of throwing them, meaning that people will come from below instead of above. If you were to hold your aim too long, the people would have time to react by jumping over the incoming pedestrian. Your goal is to make sure Savannah doesn't meet her intergalactic fate by getting rid of all of the people.
Every Sunday, Grace & Savannah team up to survive being ambushed by an army of ninjas. Instead of using the Touch Screen, you will now be moving your Nintendo 3DS in all directions to aim, using A to throw, and B to roll. The player needs to take out all of the ninjas before you are defeated in battle from losing all of your hearts.
Game modes:
- Story Mode: Play the game following its bizarre storyline. Unlock cutscenes in this mode.
- Challenge Mode: Choose to play as either Grace or Savannah. Try to knock out 999 bystanders before there are too many (Grace), or before they hit the button (Savannah).
- Movie Maze: Explore this maze to watch the game's cutscenes. Movie Maze adds (very unfitting) music to the cutscenes. There are secret cutscenes that can be found by tapping around on the touch screen.
