Gameplay

Bif and Jet tubing down the Colorado river. Bif and Jet's score and lives, as well as the river they are currently riding on, are shown in the interface at the top of the screen.

Toobin' is a vertically scrolling action game based on the recreational activity of tubing. The player controls either Bif or Jet, identified by the colors red and yellow respectively, as they travel down rivers. Although there is no ending so to speak, the objective of the game is to travel through five rivers in order to reach an end point. Upon completing the objective, the player is set back to the beginning to complete the cycle again.

On each river, players must contend with various obstacles that stand in their way. Along the way, the player can pass through gates and collect treasure chests to gain points, as well as grabbing cans which can be used to stun certain obstacles on the side of the river.
