In the game *The Blunies in: Save the Blunies*, the player assumes the role of a governing body. Through tactical maneuvering, the player paves the way for the citizens as they navigate their life paths. They must prevent the citizens from falling off the left or right edges of the screen. Dangerous obstacles threaten to halt, trap, or transform the citizens into angry individuals. These obstacles can only be cleared by the citizens themselves.

The eight main missions are based on the history of the Federal Republic of Germany and serve as the narrative thread running through the game. Randomly generated side missions ensure a dynamic level design and reflect the diverse responsibilities of a government.
