The player controls a boy named Bobby who has to pass through seven screens, jump over ponds, broken bridges, animals like hawks, butterflies, bats, ducks and other obstacles. The gameplay resembles Pitfall!, a game released by Activision.[5]

After the player passes seven scenes, he then can get Bobby into the house, and there the next level will show. The game has 32 levels. Hitting reset and select change the style of flowers that show at the bottom of the screen.

The music that plays throughout the game is an 8-bit rendition of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus".
