The Fidgetts is a side-scrolling platform puzzle game similar to The Lost Vikings. The player can switch between two Fidgetts, cartoon-like animals, to get past obstacles. One of the Fidgetts can jump higher to reach objects or locations otherwise unreachable. Fidgetts can lift and drop items to help them climb over obstacles. Within each level the player must get both Fidgetts to the exit before a time runs out. There's pit traps and enemies that can cause the Fidgetts to lose lives or receive damage.
