The objective of the game is to examine both the upper and lower teeth lines to infer where the safe gap will be when the mouth closes, then move the cavity germ to that spot in time.
The player controls a [[cavity]] germ, who can move left and right on a grid based system. It automatically jumps any number of spaces upward to reach the next space left or right. It standing on the lower teeth line of a set of teeth, and the upper teeth line is gradually descending to close the mouth. The teeth coming together will crush the germ, failing the microgame. However, there is one safe spot where the upper and lower teeth lines will not align. The objective of the game is to correctly determine where the safe spot is, then move the germ there before the mouth closes. Note that if the upper teeth line has dropped too low, the cavity germ cannot move through it. The upper teeth line accelerates to a faster speed just before potentially crushing the germ.

It standing on the lower teeth line of a set of teeth, and the upper teeth line is gradually descending to close the mouth. The teeth coming together will crush the germ, failing the microgame. However, there is one safe spot where the upper and lower teeth lines will not align. The objective of the game is to correctly determine where the safe spot is, then move the germ there before the mouth closes. Note that if the upper teeth line has dropped too low, the cavity germ cannot move through it. The upper teeth line accelerates to a faster speed just before potentially crushing the germ.
