Unlike the first game in the Jason Jupiter series, which is a platformer, this sequel is a Boulderdash-like game. The object is to collect the required number of borxidium (heart-shaped symbols) and then make it to the exit, while avoiding monsters and falling rocks. There are actual graphics this time (CGA sprites) instead of the text-mode characters used in the first game. Levels span multiple screens, and unlike the first game, you don't need to collect EVERY heart to progress, only the required number displayed at the bottom of the screen.
