A bonus is given if the player pushes towards them and whips. Indy must cross the bridge safely within the span of a single life if he can reach the stolen Sankara Stone at the end of the bridge, the game will enter a cut scene similar to the climax of the film: Indy cuts the ropes supporting the bridge, sending Mola Ram to his death as Indy climbs to safety to reach Willie and Short Round.
At the opposite end, Mola Ram awaits, throwing flaming hearts with increasing speed. From one end of the bridge, Thuggee guards will run across in an attempt to reach Indy.
The level ends when Indy reaches a mine shaft accompanied by a cart. The heart may be whipped away, but Mola Ram will continue to reappear until the player takes action. If Indy delays in rescuing children, or remains in one area for too long, Thuggee leader Mola Ram will appear and throw a flaming heart at him. However, these enemies can be knocked into such hazards as lava pits and flaming gasoline cans, which will dispose of them permanently. The whip also serves as Indy's only means of defense while it destroys the killer bats that float around the mines, it only stuns the Thuggee guards that chase after him. Crossing mountainous peaks and conveyor belts, Indy must find the cages that hold children around the mine, and destroy their locks with his whip.
The player assumes the role of Indiana Jones as he infiltrates the lair of the evil Thuggee cult, armed only with his trademark whip. It is also the first Atari System 1 arcade game to include digitized speech, including voice clips of Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones and Amrish Puri as Mola Ram, as well as John Williams' music from the film.
