Bloop is viewed from an overhead perspective and must collect the required eggs before reaching the exit. Trogs patrol the maze, while environmental hazards and destructible objects can make routes dangerous.

The player moves through progressively more demanding stages, using attacks and temporary power-ups to create safe paths. Some items change Bloop's abilities, allowing him to confront enemies more effectively. Success depends on learning enemy movement, choosing efficient routes, and avoiding unnecessary fights.

Plan a route around the whole arena before collecting the final egg. Keeping an escape path open is safer than entering a corner while Trogs are nearby.

Use power-ups when they solve a specific threat, and avoid wasting time fighting enemies that can simply be bypassed. Learn the timing of hazards and wait for patrols to separate before crossing narrow routes.
