The game uses a 2D side-scrolling perspective. Hipopo runs, jumps, and throws water balls to stun or defeat enemies. Repeated hits can create larger water effects that help clear groups or interact with terrain. Stages mix platforming, traps, item collection, and boss encounters. Progress is stage-based, with each cleared area leading to a new themed section of the adventure.

Strategy
Learn the range and timing of water throws early, since they are useful for both offense and space control. In crowded sections, trap enemies before jumping into risky platforms. Try to clear threats ahead instead of rushing blindly. During boss fights, watch for their attack patterns and use safe openings to keep a steady stream of water attacks going.

Tips and tricks
- Water attacks are useful for controlling enemy movement, not just dealing damage.
- Take platforming sections slowly if enemies are placed near edges or moving lifts.
- Collecting helpful items can make later encounters much safer.
