The game uses a side-scrolling perspective with movement, jumping, and spell attacks as its main actions. Annet's diagonal jump is central to traversal, letting players cross gaps and navigate awkward terrain. Stages feature branching paths, enemy waves, hazards, and boss fights, with progression built around surviving encounters and choosing the safest route forward. Players must balance mobility and magic use while learning the timing of jumps and enemy patterns.
