Gameplay.
The game is viewed in the top-down perspective and automatically scrolls forward. The goal is to reach the garage at the far end of the road. The player drives a car with a large hand attached that is used to collect objects along the road. The left 8-way stick controls the car, the right two-way stick controls the hands. Fruits give points and gas containers give more fuel. Players can gain extra points by disposing of the leftover fruit in the trash cans. Trees and other obstacles injure the hand, making it temporarily unusable. Player lives are lost when players run out of fuel or hit other cars.
