The game plays as a traditional 2D side-scrolling platformer with jumping, attacking, item collection, and route selection. Psycho Fox can transform into several animal forms under specific conditions, each offering distinct movement or combat traits that help with gaps, hazards, and hidden areas. Stages often feature multiple paths, vertical detours, and secret routes, encouraging experimentation and route memorization.
