The animals behave differently: goats, the most common enemy, will only kick Noah, while the other animals such as sheep, ostriches, antelopes and oxen will shoot spittle at him from a distance. Instead of killing Nazi soldiers in a castle, the player takes the part of Noah, wandering the Ark, using a slingshot to shoot sleep-inducing food at angry attacking animals, mostly goats, in order to render them unconscious. The game plays similarly to Wolfenstein 3D, but the graphics were changed to reflect a non-violent theme. The game was also updated for the 20th Anniversary Edition and released at itch.io on for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. In January 2014, the game was re-released for the SNES, initially available only by private email orders, but later through Piko Interactive's website.
