In addition to watching the results of their setup, the player can interact in real-time with the moving items and the Furmins via well-timed usage of bumpers and conveyor belts.

A successful solution to a puzzle sees all of the Furmins reach the basket, at which point the level is passed.

Furmins tells the story of its titular main characters, a cuddly race of creatures living a happy, peaceful existence until one day when their benevolent King falls asleep and rolls over a river, thus forming an impromptu dam and blocking the flow of water.

Without water from the river the Furmins' existence is threatened, and so they embark on a quest to reach their King and wake him up.
