The game uses a side-scrolling, floor-by-floor structure. Thomas can move left and right, jump, crouch, and attack with punches and kicks to deal with enemies at close range. Each floor is timed, so the player must keep moving while managing incoming attacks from ground and airborne foes. At the end of most floors, a boss blocks the exit, and defeating that boss advances the story. Difficulty rises steadily as enemy patterns become denser and more aggressive.

Strategy
Learn enemy timing first, especially for flying kicks and rushing attackers. Mid-range spacing is often safer than standing too close or too far away, since it helps you react to sudden approaches. Because each floor is time-limited, avoid lingering in one spot and keep pushing forward after clearing a threat. Against bosses, wait for openings and avoid overcommitting to attacks.
