Frenzic is a puzzle game based around six colored wheels around a central circle. Colored "pie slices" will appear in the middle circle and need to be moved to one of the outer circles. Completing a circle clears it and earns the player points. However, filling a circle with more "slices" of one color earns more points, and filling a circle completely with one color earns an extra life.

The catch to the gameplay is that the pie slices cannot be rotated when moved from the center circle. Should a purple wedge appear in the "12 o'clock" position, it must be moved to a circle with an opening in it's "12 o'clock" position. Should the player gamble on filling all slots, and have the same location filled in each of the six circles, they do have a buffer with where a "spare" piece may be stored. But should a piece appear in the center that cannot be placed in any circle or the buffer spot, a life is lost.

There is only one gameplay mode, and the game is for one player. For the DSiWare version of the game, gameplay is performed with the stylus on the bottom, touch-screen, of the DSi. The top screen shows score and other information. [source:mobygames]
