Sometimes a key can be located to unlock a secret item in a chest, for instance to restore health. In certain sections the explorer can carry a lost girl or an idol (that triggers a trap, such as a huge rolling boulder) to the exit for additional points (or, in the case of the girl, for an additional heart). They can be used to create a path and often expose treasure hidden in the ground and walls. The latter is not only used to dispose of enemies such as spiders, bats, snakes, cavemen and the undead, but also to blast through certain parts of the level. The other basic equipment includes a rope to climb up and a number of bombs.

The explorer also suffers falling damage when the distance is too high. He begins with four “hearts” (health) and when these are used up, the entire game needs to be replayed. The main character can move around, run, jump, hang off ledges and attack enemies with his whip (jumping on top off them works as well). The main goal is to finish the sixteen levels by locating the exits, but players are encouraged to collect jewels and other types of treasure. The game features four separate “areas”, each of which contains four levels and is set in a different environment and has different enemies. There are also some fixed parameters, such as certain sets of enemies and level themes that are introduced only from a specific level. The game consists of sixteen levels, but for each playthrough the entire level layout (general structure, enemies, traps, items) is completely randomized, making it an entirely new game each time.
