Taizo Hori navigates an island from an overhead perspective to eliminate all enemies in each round. Players use a pump to defeat Pookas and Fygars, the latter of which can burn the player with horizontal fire breath. Success requires managing these two enemy types while clearing the stage to progress through the action-oriented levels.
