The game is divided into levels and the levels are divided into waves. Each wave spawns a number of enemies into the game, that start to move towards the nest of golden eggs. The player must defend the nest. If an enemy reaches the nest, he disappears with one of the eggs. If the nest is emptied, the Golden Goose spawns into the nest and destroys the rest of the ongoing wave with its rage. It is weakened for the rest of the level though, and if the next enemy reaches the nest, he slays the Goose, and the game is lost. If all enemies of all waves are destroyed before that, the level is won. Right before the Goose gets slain, the player is presented with the possibility to avoid defeat through the activation of Panic Mode.
