The player controls a dragon, in a maze chase game copaired to Pac-Man or Bomberman, attempting to bite the tails off other dragons. The longer a dragon's tail, the more bites required to defeat it. There are a total 20 mazes.

Two players may play either competitively or cooperatively.[2]

Reception

A review in Polish magazine Top Secret thought that both the graphics and music average, but that the increase in challenge in later levels put it slightly above other arcade style games.
