Short version: someone described this game as "WarioWare on crack." (not me)

Now, the long version that is of course typical of my rambling style:

Multitasking is a game that challenges you to play a continuously-shuffling series of minigames. The catch: you have to play more than one at a time. Up to four, in fact. You will use just a single controller to do this. For an introduction, click here for the official trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Le6yh0q2bY

Here's some info that will help you out. But ultimately, you'll need to rely on your skills to get those high scores!

Understanding Rank

A number called rank determines some big factors in this game:
- The number of enemies that appear. The higher the rank, the more enemies you'll see.
- The movement speed of both enemies and enemy projectiles. The higher rank goes, the faster all of that will be.
- The duration of the encounters at the end of Stages 4 and 5.

- Kick a lot. Kicking is the most effective way to cause blocks to move. So consider kicking first, before considering a different course of action.

- Blocks will slow their horizontal movement when on top of the floor, or another block. So the way to get a block to travel the furthest is by kicking it off another block so that it flies through the air. Because there is less friction, it will travel much further. This is illustrated in the attract mode demo.
