Gameplay
Rungistan combines graphical elements with text-based commands. The game begins with the player sitting in a jail cell and one is asked to enter a command. In certain situations, the player is required to perform a certain action before the time runs out, such as defusing a bomb. It also includes arcade-like sequences, such as skiing down a hill and avoiding trees.

Reception
Softline in 1982 liked the "precise, colorful graphics", animated arcade sequences, and built-in hints, and stated that "The puzzles are otherwise challenging enough for the average adventurer".
