Chaoz Fantasy is one of the songs used in the game, used in the level of the same name.

The objective of the game is to guide a cube over spikes and pits. There are 5 levels in the game. Fire Aura, Original Level, Chaoz Fantasy, Heaven and Phazd (2 in iOS and Android normal versions), four of which with original music.

There are two modes in the game: normal mode and practice mode. In normal mode, there are no flags (checkpoints). If the player dies in this mode, the level will start over from the beginning.

In practice mode, flags (checkpoints) can be placed at any point in the level. If the player dies in this mode, the player will respawn at the most recently placed flag.

Each time a level is beaten, a medal is awarded depending on the way they beat it.
