Summary

The player controls a penguin who must clear 40 levels worth of action.[3] There are a certain number of lines with switches and dots that need activating.[3] Once all the lines are cleared, so are any enemies that are remaining in that level.[3] A strict time limit make players lose their lives in addition to bumping into an enemy.[3]

There is no regularity to the movement of the character, giving an element of luck to the game.[4] Some aspects of background graphics appear in certain levels (especially on levels 12, 20, 28, and 36).[4] Level 40 is essentially a giant maze which leads up to a castle that ends the game.[4]
