The game uses an overhead perspective with direct movement and attack controls. In each stage, players must defeat enemies, collect loot, and find the route forward before the timer expires. Every area is limited to 100 seconds; running out of time or touching a monster costs a life. There are 25 worlds in total, and in two-player mode the first player controls the male character while the second player controls the female, encouraging coordinated play and quick decision-making.

Gameplay
Characters
Male protagonist
The young man pulled into the alternate world; controlled by Player 1 and tasked with fighting through the castle and finding a way home.
Girlfriend
The male protagonist's companion and the second playable character, controlled by Player 2 in co-op.
Strategy
Learn each stage's layout quickly and prioritize the shortest safe route over fighting every enemy. Because the timer is extremely strict, hesitation is usually more dangerous than taking a small amount of risk. In co-op, let one player lead the movement while the other watches for enemies and pickups. If a room feels crowded, clear only the threats that block progress and keep moving.
