You control a boy walking through a platform maze trying to collect items while being chased by enemies. They can be killed by using the boomerang. The boomerang has a limited range and, if thrown, must always picked up. It will not return to you.
In Bomb Jack, the player controls Jack, who must collect all the bombs in order to complete the current round and go onto the next one. This sounds easy, right? Wrong! Making Jack's task difficult are numerous enemies such as birds, mummies, turtles, and orbs. In each round, collecting a number of bombs results in a bonus coin appearing, and collecting this coin will make the player's score increase 2 to 4 times. More often than not, the "power ball" appears, and when you collect this, you can defeat enemies and have more time to collect all the bombs. There is also the "E" coin, which gives Jack one additional life, but rarely does this coin appear. The more you progress through the game, the more difficult it becomes, as enemies travel more quickly to get you.
You are Wendy and you are trapped inside the mazes of Traag. To escape you have to collect all the foot boxes and get to the exit. There are four robots and a bird that will kill you if you touch them. The robots roam freely around the maze while the bird is flying up and down.
