The game uses a top-down perspective with randomly generated maps, item locations, and events. Players explore each floor to find spaceship pieces, open present boxes for helpful or harmful effects, and use elevators and portals to advance. ToeJam and Earl can act independently or support each other in co-op play, with progress centered on careful route planning, item management, and surviving quirky enemies.
