How about orienting the tracks vertically? Then you could use a player,
missile or ball for the tracks, change colors as often as you want, give it
an arc, even sort of rotate the thing.
Even using the playfield, as long as the animation is kind of fast it
doesn't have to appear jerky. That bad Ballblazer clone I started and
never finished looked sort of okay when you were moving, and I was using
the playfield for the grid on the ground.
I may be confused though, because what I'm envisioning is something like a
horizontal Klax.
