The object of the game is to guide Toru Mikie throughout many locations of his high school in order to collect hearts with which he'll finally gain the affection of the girl he likes. Each heart collected is registered as the letter of a word, which appears on the top of the screen.
Once all the hearts in a room have been collected and the word uncovered, the exit door will open and Mikie can then leave to seek new adventures in other parts of the school.

The game is divided in five main stages, which are all different locations within the school, with a sixth one acting as a sort of hub, connecting them all together:

Mikie's adventure to gain his sweetheart's love begins in his classroom, many seats feature a heart Mikie must collect, and he must leave his own seat in order to pick them up while risking being seen by the teacher, who turns around to check on the class from time to time. To avoid being detected, Mikie can quickly take one of the other seats to fool the teacher to believe he's being well behaved; however, since those seats are already occupied, Mikie will have to push the other students off first.

If the teacher detects that Mikie is out of his seat, he'll momentarily abandon his academic duties and start chasing him all across the classroom.

Next in the locker room Mikie must break into all of the lockers, trying to collect the hearts contained inside for his sweetheart.
Unfortunately, the teacher and the janitor have followed him here and now they have a new companion: the school's chef.
All three of these academic staff members will be in Mikie's hot pursuit while he's trying to break into the other students' belongings. Fortunately, there are three bins (or two in some home ports) scattered around the room filled with basketball balls which Mikie can throw at his enemies; if any of them catches a ball, they'll start dribbling it and apparently become so absorbed in this task that they'll momentarily forget all about Mikie and his antics.

Canteen is a hall counts with five tables and the cook's stove working station lies on the back wall. As usual, Mikie has to collect all the hearts scattered in the room. The cook's two assistants will join the teacher on the chase for Mikie here, while the chef remains on his working station, hurling roasted beefs at Mikie in an attempt to stop him. Pots containing more roasted beefs are set on some of the tables, which Mikie can grab and toss at his pursuers. If he succeeds in doing so, they will start eating them and be temporarily disabled from the chase.

The gym layout in this room is a bit different than the rest in regard that it's completely unfurnished. Instead, a numerous group of female dancing students will be twirling all over the place, acting as its main obstacles. If Mikie makes contact with any of them, he'll become momentarily stunned, giving his enemies a greater chance to catch him. A new enemy is introduced here: the malevolent dance instructor.

Courtyard is the only open area of the game, which acts as the final stage. Here, Mikie will have to evade the menacing-looking members of the high school's football team, attempting to collect all the hearts while Mandy is cheering for him in the background. If he succeeds, he'll complete the game and finally gain the cheerleader's affections, taking her for a ride in his convertible.

After completing this stage, the game begins on its next loop on a higher difficulty setting.

The game can be played up to 2 players alternating each other and competing for high score.
