Players must use numbers depicted on a grid to determine which sections to fill and not fill in. When the black-and-white puzzle is completed, players are rewarded with their completed puzzle, now in colour, which is then added into a larger artwork to fill in the blanks. All the blank spaces of these larger, full artworks must be filled before moving onto the next chapter. When the completed chapters and their associated artworks are viewed in sequential order, they provide a story that ties into the lore of the [[Flye 'n' Frie (franchise)|''Flye 'n' Frie]] franchise. | ||

The game was set to be developed for the Atari 2600, but due to technical hardware limitations, preventing display of complex colour graphics, and the fact that only one button is available on the 2600's standard CX40 joystick, development was moved from the Atari 2600 to the Atari 7800 in March 2024. | |||
