The premise, in the publisher's words

Warpman is an Action game, developed and published by Namco, which was released in Japan in 1985. The player takes control of a "Monster Fighter", who must shoot tongue-sticking aliens in the "Space World" without letting them touch him. When the Warp Zone in the centre of the screen flashes, it is possible for the Monster Fighter to warp to the "Maze World", where monters must be killed with time-delay bombs. The delay is controlled by how long the player holds the button down - but every time he kills one, his bombs will get stronger, making it easier for the Monster Fighter to blow himself up with his own bombs until he returns to Space World.
