Godzilla is a puzzle solving platform game where you control Godzilla , a radioactive dinosaur searching for his love interest Minira, a female dinosaur. In this game with 49 levels, you have to reach one of the two level exits that will appear when all rocks are smashed.
While climbing vines to reach platforms and smashing rocks, you are chased by various types of monsters. Occasionally, when you smash a rock an item will appear. Smashing an item will activate it. Once all rocks have been smashed, two screen exits appear. Choose one of the two and enter the next level.
Keep in mind that to reach an exit, you have to smash the rocks in a particular order because if you don't, you'll get stuck.

How to Play
How to Play
The game is played on a 64-scene Matrix labyrinth, with eight scenes vertically and eight horizontally. Minilla is located in one of these scenes. As Godzilla, you must battle through each scene to find Minilla.
First, destroy all rocks in a scene within a fixed time limit. Arrows will then appear on the screen, indicating passages to the next scene. Crossing an arrow will take you to the indicated scene.
For example, if you are playing Scene 5, destroying all rocks and passing over an arrow will take you to Scene 13.
If you fail to destroy all rocks within the time limit, Ghidrah will appear. Ghidrah is invincible, so ensure all rocks are destroyed before this happens.
You can view the entire 64-scene Matrix plan during your game to check your current scene. The plan shows your followed route and cleared scenes.
