Throughout the game, he runs automatically and defeats enemies on contact unless they hit him with one of their attacks. The objective is to rack up as many Soulons on Rogue Soul's bounty by collecting treasure, defeating enemies, and getting as far as you can without getting killed by an enemy or hazard - Rogue Soul slowly earns Soulons on his bounty while running in addition to earning some whenever he defeats enemies or collects treasure.
