The player can shoot or breathe fire at enemies to defeat enemies, with fire being more powerful than ammunition but limited in quantity; fire can be replenished by collecting pixies. In addition to single player mode, Black Heart supports two-player simultaneous gameplay feature, where the second player can join in at any time by inserting credits during gameplay. If the bosses are defeated, the player proceeds to the next level.
