The game employs a low consumption LCD-based screen, allowing for a small form factor design incorporating alkaline button power cells. The game requires two LR-44 or equivalent cells. In-game objects are displayed on fixed, immovable LCD elements. The main score display (which doubles up as a date/time and stopwatch display) consists of a three-and-a-half digit display and an extra small digit for tenths of a second, or lives remaining. Gameplay. The object of the game is  to move the character around a maze, eating all the fruit, and avoiding contact with ghosts. There are two humpback bridges which contain a fruit item both over and underneath the bridge. Successive levels are faster, to increase difficulty. Each level has a fixed route which can guarantee completion of each level without losing a life. Due to the limits of the fixed numeric display, the highest score that can be shown is 1,999. Once this has been exceeded, the score will display as HHH.
