The player controls Tamagon, a green dragon. The player must eat all of the dots in the maze as enemy characters roam the maze and the Devil scrolls the screen in a random direction. In the first stage, Tamagon must collect a cross which only lasts for a short period of time in order to eat dots, as well as breathe fire at enemies. After that, Tamagon enters a maze where four Bibles need to be inserted into four holes in a seal in the center of the maze. Once this one is finished, there is a bonus maze where Tamagon tries to collect bonus boxes within a time limit. This pattern continues through out the game.
