A construction worker attempts to get from the building on the left to the shed on the right while avoiding falling tools. However, the worker can enter the shed only when its door is open. The worker cannot return to the building on the left after he exits it. The player receives a [[point]] for every three tools that hit the ground without hitting the worker. When the worker safely enters the shed, the player earns five points. As the game progresses, the tools will start to fall at a faster speed, making it harder for the worker to escape harm. Getting hit by a tool will result in a miss. At 200 and 500 points, any misses the player has will be removed. When the player gets three misses, they receive a [[Game Over]]. In Game B, the tools fall faster and the door to the shed stays closed longer.
