In the game, the player plays as the character Barry Steakfries, as he runs and shoots various enemies and monsters (Such as Mummies and Vampires). As they progress through the game, the value of points is based in the quantity of meters in which the person has traveled since they entered the game. While progressing through the game, the player enters portals into various exotic worlds and locations, such as a Vampire Kingdom, and a Demon Dyansty. Players can also gain better weapons (For a limited time), and red hearts, which will improve their health.
