Squeeze

Two fireflies, green starting at the left and purple at the right, each leave a deadly trail of light behind them. Steer yours so that the other bumps into a trail, its own or yours, and you score a point; if both crash together, nobody scores. The fireflies wrap around the edges of the field and speed up as a round goes on. Hold the button to turn your light off and leave gaps in your trail, which either firefly can slip through. The first round waits for a button, and later rounds start by themselves after a crash. The first to 10 wins. Play a friend, or play green against the computer.

Controls: Green is joystick 1 and purple is joystick 2; against the computer either joystick steers green. Push the stick to turn (you cannot reverse) and hold either button to switch your light off.
