James Mariner, an astronaut drawn beneath the Sun's surface by a tractor beam, must navigate an underground solar world where its inhabitants plan to destroy the Galaxy and consume his DNA. Guided mostly by his computer assistant's frequent dialogue, he moves through a simple two‑dimensional environment, wandering between locations, interacting with characters, and following a single path toward escaping captivity and stopping the impending annihilation. The game consists of 150 different locations including vast lava caverns. During the course of the game the player encounters talking stones, flying lizards, various gate mechanisms as well as puzzles that the player must solve.
