The object of the game is to guide a ball along pieces of track by moving tiles like a sliding puzzle.
Versions of Blodia were released exclusively in Japan for the original Game Boy and the X68000.
A spin-off titled Blodia Land: Puzzle Quest was released for the Famicom, replacing the ball with cartoon dinosaur-like characters.
The game also includes a level editor which allows for the creation of custom puzzles.
An earlier "prototype" version without the level editor was published for the TI-99/4a and other computers as "Diablo" in 1985.
