The game's load-bearing mechanic is magnetism. Players float cargo gently, pull several items into a clump at once, and can swing that clump at enemies that interfere with the escape. The spherical character also swaps its own limbs for enhancement parts across four slots, enabling abilities such as flamethrowers and beam attacks.
Experience earned from collecting cargo levels the character up. Higher levels let players carry larger cargo or handle several pieces at once, so transport efficiency and combat strength draw on the same progression. Toydium developed the game; its prior work includes Gift, Noroikago: GeGeGe no Yoru, and Natsume's Book of Friends: Hazuki no Ki.
