The game uses a side-view perspective. The objective is to guide the furry through individual stages, avoid hazards and enemies, collect useful items, and reach the exit. Rooms and corridors are arranged as compact obstacle courses with switches, moving platforms, barriers, and passages that require specific abilities.

The furry acquires and uses different powers during the adventure. These powers alter how it interacts with the environment and allow access to new routes. Progression is primarily stage-based, with later areas combining earlier mechanics into more complex puzzles and platforming sequences.

Study each room before committing to a jump, especially when moving platforms or hazards are involved. Treat newly acquired powers as puzzle tools as well as defensive abilities.

• Search side paths for useful items and alternate routes.
• Test switches from a safe position when possible.
• Preserve lives by learning a room's timing before attempting its most difficult section.
