Rescue Tanya from a monster by moving Tom-Tom through seven areas, each containing four rounds of platforming challenges. Collect fruit to extend a depleting timer and battle foes across diverse environments like ice palaces and oceans. The gameplay requires precise movement through left-to-right levels to reach the end of each stage before time runs out.
