At first glance, the game appears to be a clone of [[Dig Dug]] or [[Boulder Dash]]. While some game play mechanics are similar, Hottaman no Chitei Tanken contains a number of unique concepts. The goal of every stage is to locate 4 keys that will make the stage exit appear, and reach the exit. There are 15 unique stages which repeat. A variety of enemies spawn in the dirt, some of which can breath fire. Hottaman is equipped with a flame thrower of his own which he can use to defeat enemies. Power-ups can be obtained from eggs and treasure chests. The ground is not one consistency, but rather composed of several different types of dirt and liquids, some of which is dangerous for Hottaman to enter unprotected. | At first glance, the game appears to be a clone of [[Dig Dug]] or [[Boulder Dash]].

Translation group Six Feet Under released a patch that will translate the game into English, which can be found [http://www.romhacking.net/trans/159/ here]. However, another clever patch changes the game to "Dig Dug III," replacing all of the unfamiliar looking sprites with a variety of Dig Dug and Namco themed enemies, while leaving the game play entirely the same. | ||
