They then use whatever tools and weapons are available to attack and kill the opponents' hedgehogs, thereby winning the game. Hedgehogs may move around the terrain in a variety of ways, normally by walking and jumping but also by using particular tools such as the "Rope" or "Parachute", to move to otherwise inaccessible areas. Each turn is time-limited to ensure that players do not hold up the game with excessive thinking or moving.

A large variety of tools and weapons are available for players during the game: Grenade, Cluster Bomb, Bazooka, UFO, Homing Bee, Shotgun, Desert Eagle, Fire Punch, Baseball Bat, Dynamite, Mine, Rope, Pneumatic pick, Parachute. Most weapons, when used, cause explosions that deform the terrain, removing circular chunks. The landscape is an island floating on a body of water, or a restricted cave with water at the bottom. A hedgehog dies when it enters the water (either by falling off the island, or through a hole in the bottom of it), it is thrown off either side of the arena or when its health is reduced, typically from contact with explosions, to zero (the damage dealt to the attacked hedgehog or hedgehogs after a player's or CPU turn is shown only when all movement on the battlefield has ceased).

Saadaksesi pingviinit haaviin sinun täytyy rikkoa jäävuori pieniin palasiin. (Ne pelkäävät vettä jostain käsittämättömästä syystä. "Matrixissa" on vielä enemmän reikiä juonessa ja se oli silti menestys.) Tämän sinä teet sulattamalla uurteita jäähän erityisillä korkean teknologian GNU-työkaluilla.

Kun vähintään 80% jäävuoresta on tuhottu, jäljellä oleva osa on tarpeeksi pieni kuljetettavaksi. Tietenkin mitä pienemmäksi saat laatan sitä enemmän säästät postimaksussa ja nörttiuskottavuutesi lisääntyy (eli pisteet).
