There are many themes and references throughout the game, but the two main themes are Star Wars (the largest part to the right part) and The Lord of the Rings to the left. If they are on a mobile device such as a smartphone, Cueball is controlled by tilting the device.
But this is not done by clicking and dragging though, instead the user controls Cueball on a hoverboard (hence the title of the comic) by using the arrow keys, assuming that the user is on a desktop computer or a laptop. In the style of 1110: Click and Drag it was possible to move around in a very much larger picture than what was shown in the frame. But it was far from being a small or normal comic!
