The player controls the Hare across eight linear levels, jumping, collecting carrots and apples, and evading enemies such as beetles, snails, bees, spiders, mushrooms, and hedgehogs while the Wolf pursues in classic slapstick fashion. The story remains a straightforward episodic chase with no romance systems, character creation, or identity-focused subplots.

This faithful adaptation preserves the original characters and premise without alteration, resulting in pure chase-and-collect gameplay centered entirely on physical comedy and level navigation. The 2005 domestic Russian release features zero developer statements on diversity, DEI, or representation, confirming that thematic content stays limited to slapstick comedy with no ideological overlay. Casting remains unchanged from the 1969 source material, thematic centrality rests solely on episodic pursuit mechanics, and creator intent shows no engagement with contemporary social messaging. Audience reception aligns with this absence of controversy, as the game delivers uncomplicated platforming entertainment free of political messaging or forced narrative elements.
