This is the player, doomed to wander through each chamber of the maze firing at robots and avoiding disintegration.  The player will die if he touches anything; robots, bullets, and the walls of the maze itself.  The player can move and fire his gun in eight directions.  His only goal is survival.  The higher he scores, the harder it gets.  When he exits from one direction in the maze, the entrance that he arrived in is closed off.

(In a 2-player game, Player 2's Humanoid is purple instead of green.)

[[Image:Berzerk Robot.png|left]]
These mindless drones have only one intent, the destruction of the player.  Their operation is so singular, that they will attempt to execute it at the risk of themselves and their fellow teammates.  They walk into walls, and shoot one another if you get in their line of sight.  They appear in a series of colors, which change upon reaching particular scores.  Their color indicates what level of offensive power they have.  The higher the level, the more bullets they can fire on the screen at any one time.

Evil Otto will appear from where the Humanoid entered the maze. The timing of Evil Otto's appearance is directly related to how many robots you start with. The fewer the robots, the sooner Evil Otto appears. Evil Otto cannot be destroyed, no matter how much you shoot at him.  All you can do is run away.  When you defeat all of the robots, Otto doubles his speed.  Only destroy the last robot while Otto is present if you are extremely close to an exit.
