Since the character can only run and climb ladders, he has to rely on the blob, for example, to overcome obstacles in the way. He achieves this by giving different types of candy to the blob for consumption, whereupon it is transformed into a certain shape. For example, one strain can turn the blob into a ladder, while honey candy can turn it into a whirring bird. Under these conditions, the player navigates the duo through the levels to avoid enemies and collect treasures, while on the way to secure the supply of candy.
