The player gets to control one of these extraterrestrials; the player can choose up to eight different species. For example, there is a caterpillar-like alien that is very good at shooting events but terrible at racing events.

The list of possible events include: 100 Qbits Sprint, Laser Leaping, Big Bounce, Laser Skeet, 200 Qbits Splurge, Lunge Leap Splat, Toxophilly, Flob Flop, Sabre Sling, Survival, Alien Hurl, Laser Skeet 2, Jetpack Tag, Lizard Leap, and Wall Jumping.

When the game is over, the final score is displayed (at least in the Game Boy version).
