Gordo can fight against enemies by throwing apples collected in the stage at them, as he does not possess any other means of offense and coming in direct contact with them decreases his health, although it can be restored by collecting bananas. Rescuing the lab animals involves a different process depending on the stages, which must be explored fully in order to find and free them, however if Gordo fall into a pit, the player enters into a dungeon riddled with lava on the floor that can instantly kill their character and inside these dungeons there are also caged animals that can be freed as well.
