The main gameplay involves guiding Alice Margatroid to the goal, which is Marisa Kirisame. The player can select one of the eight stages within a world. Once they are cleared, the boss of the world becomes available. At the beginning of every stage, the player is given the chance to view the overall stage. The player uses the cursor to control Shanghai and alter the environment to make it safe for Alice. Alice will walk left and right on their own, so the obstacles must be manipulated accordingly to allow Alice to safely navigate through the level. There is a time limit for each level, and bonus points are given for any excess time.
