The game seems to be of a largely experimental nature. There are a large number of level themes. The game has three different types of bonus levels rather than just one. There are a number of gameplay elements that do not appear to belong to an integrated whole, such as the akward face icons. This experimental appearance may have been because the game was a pioneer of a new series, and the developers may have been testing several ideas to see if they would work well in future Crash games.
