Burglar X is an arcade beat-'em up with puzzle elements. The player can move with 8-way joystick and control 3 buttons - one to hit, another to fart (toxic gas from your butt) and another to launch timed bombs.

The objective of the game is to destroy enemies, collect objects & power-ups, solve puzzles and defeat the final bosses. We lose a life when we lose one of the three hearts with which we begin.

We can choose a male (Gukjung) character who strikes with his head and a female (Guksoon) who strikes with a mallet.
