In the game the player takes control of two "arrows" with a string attached between them. The arrows must move around poles on the screen and form complete shapes to surround Mushlins as well as enemies and fully enclose them within. The player must harvest all the Mushlins on screen while avoiding enemies. Every screen also has a few treasure chests which take the player to a Bonus Stage if they are revealed. The stages in the game are referred to as "Seasons" based on the game's gardening theme.
Sadly, the game would not release outside of Japan because of a lack of interest on behalf of Midway who handled all Namco games outside of Japan. Even home ports would be exclusive to Japan until November 2021 when Hamster released a worldwide port via the Arcade Archives Collection on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.
Tropes:
- Ambiguous Gender: Libble and Rabble, the two arrows in the game which serve as the playable characters. Thier genderless names reflect on their having a lack of gender.
- Animate Inanimate Object: Libble & Rabble are merely just arrows, but they serve as the game's playable characters.
- Bonus Stage: If the player manages to find a treasure chest, they will be transported to a bonus level where they can encounter more chests.
- Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp": The items you collect in the game are not called mushrooms, they are "mushlins".
- Inexplicable Treasure Chests: Every stage is full of bonus treasure chests, which can send the player to bonus stages.
- One-Hit-Point Wonder: If an enemy in the game can kill, it will kill one of the characters in one hit.
- Timed Mission: Every stage in the game has a time limit in which to finish it.
- Video-Game Lives: You lose a life if one of the arrows is touched by an enemy or if you run out of time, but lives can sometimes be found inside bonus treasure chests.
