The game plays as a side-scrolling stage-based action game built around jumping, attacking, and careful movement through hazards and enemies. Rodney can use special movement techniques to traverse gaps and reach higher areas, which gives many stages a platforming focus beyond simple combat. Progress is linear from stage to stage, with enemy patterns, timing, and positioning playing a major role in survival.

Strategy
Learn the timing of jumps and hook-like movement early, since many difficult sections depend on precise aerial control. When enemies cluster, move carefully instead of rushing forward. Use platform edges and height differences to reduce risk, and study boss attack cycles before committing to damage. Patience is usually safer than aggressive play.
