The player moves around and kills enemies using a combination of ranged attacks or melee attacks depending on the character. Once enough enemies are killed, the player advances to the next level. If the player hits a wall or an enemy, or runs out of health, the game ends. The original version of the game no longer functions on the iPad after upgrading to iOS 11. In September 2024 new iOS and Android versions were released by Halfbrick Studios.
