In this adventure game, players control a small hero who must defeat evil creatures to save a kingdom from peril. Players can explore 3D pixilated landscapes, solve environmental puzzles, and perform a series of sub-missions—battling an assortment of small, "cartoony" creatures. Dragons, ghouls, puppies, sharks, and robots must be defeated to progress though the dungeons and other fantasy settings (chickens can be struck with players' sword). Players use a sword, boomerang, mallet, bow & arrows, and grappling hooks to clear away enemies. For both players and enemies, damage is represented by tiny figures getting knocked back and flashing for a brief moment; when killed, both player-characters and enemies will explode or crumble into blocks. In one sequence, players will meet a sage who asks players to stab her in the stomach to unlock magical abilities. After a few initial stabs, the sage will exclaim (in text), "Ohtu! Yeargh! It hurts!," and will ask to be stabbed again. Players will continue to stab, and the sage will blink until the magic is released.
