A maze-like grid level displays blue brick walls arranged in a pattern across a gray background. Three white circular target markers with crosshair designs are positioned at different locations on the map. Four yellow boxes labeled '10' indicate collectible points scattered throughout the level. A centered white popup banner displays the text 'Play Against' in blue letters, with two magenta lines below reading 'Computer' and 'Human' in stylized pixelated font. The bottom status bar shows 'BOLO BALL by William Soleau' and keyboard controls marked as '<K>eys', with score counters at both corners set to zero.
