The aim of the game is to navigate your ship from the left side of the screen to the right, while navigating obstacles. Your ship will bounces across the top and bottom of the screen, giving you the opportunity to move in a diagonal direction. You must avoid both the stationary and moving objects that appear on the screen as this will destroy your ship. In order to progress to the next level, you must correctly maneuver your ship around the obstacles.

Space Trap also offers a bonus mode which is activated when the player collects three coins or gems in the game. Once activated, the player is able to access the bonus stage, where the aim is to collect as many coins and gems as possible. As the player progresses, the speed of the game increases and the shapes and movement of the obstacles vary. Furthermore, there are four difficulty levels in Space Trap: easy, medium, hard and hardest.
