The game uses a top-down perspective. ChuChus enter the maze from set points and automatically walk in straight lines until they encounter walls or directional arrows. The objective is to place arrows that redirect enough ChuChus into rockets before the available supply is exhausted.

Stages introduce hazards, moving KapuKapus, different entry points, and layouts that require timing several routes at once. Progression comes from completing increasingly complex puzzles, while additional modes support score-focused play and competition where available.

Study the entire maze before placing the first arrow. Identify where ChuChus will travel after each turn and reserve arrows for crossings or late-stage corrections.

Watch KapuKapu movement and stagger routes when several entrances are active. Prioritize a reliable path to the required rockets rather than trying to rescue every ChuChu immediately.
