The game uses a side-scrolling perspective with the player moving Tom-Tom through multi-section stages. You must dodge pits, spikes, and enemy attacks while timing jumps and throwing axes to clear threats. Fruit pickups help maintain survival, and mistakes cost a life, sending the player back to a checkpoint or the start of the stage. Later stages increase the pace and precision required to progress.

Tom-Tom
The playable hero who advances by jumping and throwing stone axes.
Tina
The girl Tom-Tom must rescue after being captured.
Dark King
The main villain and final enemy standing in Tom-Tom's way.
Learn enemy patterns and jump distances early, since many failures come from misjudging platform edges. Use stone axes before enemies close in, especially in narrow spaces where retreat is difficult. Keep moving steadily, collect fruit whenever possible, and treat risky jumps with patience rather than speed.
