The goal here is to be the Sultan of Splat Ball. Play by yourself with your team of Yakko, Wakko, and Dot, as you direct them through the movie sets, picking up objects, and splatting the bad guys! Equipped with paint guns, players guide their team to victory by capturing the other team's balloon and bringing it back to home base enough times to win all three leagues. There are a total of 72 game boards in 3 environments -- a Western film set, a Sci-Fi movie set, and the Warner Bros. back lot.
A player's team consists of a "striker" who shoots the splat balls, and two "patrollers" who are controlled by the computer. At any time, players can change the characters' positions, and in fact this can help give some strategic advantage. Passing over paint cans will help replenish paint supplies, and various power-ups and ammo can be collected along the way.
The concept is fun and non-violent -- shooting paint balls at opponents sends them back to their base for a shower.
There are 3 different styles of controls -- Yakko-style, Wakko-style, and Dot-style. All of them require players to use the mouse, but the different styles allow a choice between keyboard arrows and spacebar, and the perspective used in the game.
