* DualWorldGameplay: The game is split into a recto and verso side, like two sides of a page. Recto is mostly a day world and verso is mostly a night world. There are doors between the two sides that are accurately placed to go back and forth between the two sides of the page. The two worlds are also mirrored: going right on recto corresponds to going left in verso, although this is only obvious by the way the doors connect between the two worlds.

It's a big world to explore, particularly for an NES game. There are vague clues to the story of the world you're in, in the shapes of monoliths with writing on them, as well as phrases of dialogue offered by some of the game's characters. Just like the player is thrown into a world without direction of where to go to, the game world also seems mostly ''disinterested'' in the player. The various wild animals in the world all seem to be minding their business living their lives and react only when they feel approached or threatened, much like wild animals.

Unusually for exploration platformers, it is (almost) impossible to attack the creatures of this world, [[spoiler:unless you find the well-hidden lizard of death]]. They can only be dodged and avoided. For the most part, they can harm you but you can't harm them. This gives the game a unique spin where you have to explore without touching anything that moves. Even the boss fights mostly rely on platforming avoidance than directly attacking the boss characters.

The game has you play as a man who can hop inside the mouths of giant lizards and use them as suits to grant him different powers. Each power gained depends on the colour of the lizard he hops into. The abilities the lizards grant him can be used to help him navigate the big wide world the game is set in.
