The player can collect stars, which act as hit points throughout the level. After 100 stars have been collected, they can be used to hatch eggs. Eggs turn into animal assistants such as chickens, dragons, penguins or turtles. [1] Different colored eggs will turn into different animals. These assistants can aid the player by shooting, or flying, and the player can have a maximum of three animal assistants at any time. [1]
If the player collects 400 stars, they can get an extra life. [1]
The story follows the eponymous Hermie as he witnesses an egg leap out of a trashcan and, peering inside said receptacle, falls into an alternate dimension.
