AXA is an action-adventure featuring three big levels, six different graphical settings, 50 rooms to explore and more than 20 items to interact with. While the player uses the direction pad to have AXA walk, jump, climb and fight her way freely through the scenes in 2D arcade style, an icon-based menu can be popped up to perform the puzzle-related tasks such as examine, use or combine things.

The mobile game features original illustrations from Spanish artist Romero on whose comic strips and books the game is based. They introduce the player to the different chapters of the story and also reward him at the end of the game.
