## Gameplay

Amiga screenshot

The player takes control of "Cool Coyote". The goal of each level is to find the exit door and unlock it. To do so, a key is required, which consists of several pieces. Monsters will drop pieces of the key when killed, which requires the player to find and kill the monsters in the level. Attacking a monster works by shooting projectiles at it - this causes no damage though, but only will freeze it for a short time after having received enough hits. The player then has to touch the frozen monster while it is frozen to kill it.

## Development

Braybrook stated that a Mega Drive conversion was completed but not released.[1] Likewise, a Game Gear version was also planned but not released.[2]
