Volfied is a puzzle game where Monotros must save his home world from alien invaders. The player takes control of a ship that must roam the screen, forming shapes and removing enemies to clear the area. By removing the enemies, pictures are gradually revealed in the cleared areas.
The goal is to clear 80% or more of the screen, with each additional percent adding bonus points. Power-up blocks can be claimed when the area around them is removed, offering benefits such as increased speed, freezing enemies, or killing smaller enemies instantly. The player must avoid contact with enemies and navigate through barriers to form shapes.
The game offers one- or two-player modes in three difficulty levels but does not provide passwords or saved games across its numerous levels.
