The player takes on the role of a mouse named Marvin, who must complete 21 stages fraught with traps to reach a piece of cheese.

Along the way, the player must avoid contact with moving (and stationary) objects (except platforms and elevators) and falling from too high a height, resulting in loss of life and restarting the level.
