The game uses a two-dimensional side view. The selected crocodile moves through individual platforming stages, jumps across gaps, avoids hazards, and deals with enemies while progressing toward each level's exit.

Progression is level-based. Success depends on learning enemy movement, judging jumps, and maintaining momentum through the stage. The available presentation is centered on single-player arcade-style platforming; no additional DOS modes are documented here.

Treat each stage as a timing challenge rather than rushing forward. Check platforms and hazards before committing to a jump, and use the edge of the screen to reveal danger gradually.

When an enemy blocks a narrow route, wait for a safe opening instead of forcing a pass. Repeating difficult sections helps establish a reliable movement rhythm.
