The Fidgetts is a puzzle side-scrolling platform game in a similar vein as '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. They can also 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 are pit traps and enemies that can cause the Fidgetts to loose lives or receive damage.
