The game uses a top-down maze perspective. The objective is to collect the maze's point items while staying ahead of enemy pursuers; clearing the required items advances play to the next stage.

Play consists of repeated single-player rounds. Movement, route planning, cornering, and the timing of temporary power opportunities are more important than exploration or inventory management. Difficulty generally comes from increasingly dangerous enemy patterns and the limited number of mistakes available.

Plan a route before entering narrow corridors, and avoid trapping yourself in dead ends when enemies are nearby.

Use power opportunities deliberately rather than taking unnecessary risks for individual points. Keep moving, watch enemy positions, and prioritize clearing safe sections of the maze before attempting dangerous corners.
