It puts the player in the role of an Aztec warrior named "Huitzilo" who must gather seven phonographs to save his civilization from its angry gods.

[4] The game is controlled with the WASD keys (makes Huitzilo move and jump) and the mouse (to attack or grab items).

[5] Doing this allows the player to modify parts of the game world, as well as unlock a variety of doorways or pick-up previously unattainable items.

The mouse is also used to cast spells, both offensive and defensive, by selecting them from the bottom-screen magic inventory and then clicking at on-screen targets in succession to launch them.

[7] Artwork throughout the game reflects historical Mesoamerica, with square-shaped pyramids, stone temples, mystic engravings, dense jungles, and barren mountaintops.
