Activate the mechanical power source by winding BLIPs timer.
Now, press the serve button and watch the light emitting diode (L.E.D.) come at you. But dont watch it too long.

If your opponent misses, its score one for you on the automatic digital scoreboard.
Take BLIP anywhere, On boats, trains, cars, rocketships and planes.
When you play with BLIP you get carried away. And so does BLIP.
