With these two objectives carried out, Slimies can then jump on the newly stacked pillar block!

What’s more, there are two additional single-player modes, where players strive for stacking the tallest pillar in High-score Mode, as well as surviving as long as possible, in Survival Mode, before the camera catches up!
