You start each level at the entrance to a dungeon and you need to make your way to the exit. How do you do this? You roll a six-sided die (or the included pencil that has a number on each side), and pick a direction to move. If you roll an odd number, you can move diagonal the number of spaces rolled. If you roll even? You guessed it, you move orthogonally.
Occasionally, instead of a dungeon level, you'll reach a shop that will let you spend your gold on upgrades. This gives you a bit more edge on survival, assuming you have the coin to spend.
