Delayed AutoShift is implemented via the system's built-in keyboard repeat rate. This means that swapping or dropping hats cancels horizontal autorepeat. (This also means that swapping, dropping, or selling hats can be done rapidly by holding the respective keys, although it would not generally be desirable to do so.)
This version follows a standard structure of six Rounds of ten Stages each (generally called Shops and Stages in other home releases). Completing a Round awards a 20000 point bonus instead of the usual end-of-stage/Sale bonus. Unlike other home releases, the game loops endlessly; completing Round 5 Stage 9 brings the player back to Round 5 Stage 0. An end credit sequence plays after the game is over if the player has cleared all stages from Round 0 Stage 0 through Round 5 Stage 9.
The score counter has space for seven digits. It is not currently known if the score counter maxes out at 9,999,999 or exhibits other behavior.

Sale
At the end of each stage, Alexey and Vladimir descend from the top of the playfield and can assist the player by removing hats from the top or bottom of each stack. The number of hats that can be removed depends on the number of levels completed, as well as how many hats were removed on previous stages. The Sale stock is set to . The Sale stock is also reset to 20 after completing a full round of ten stages.
Pressing Left or Right moves Alexey and Vladimir to select a column. Pressing Down or Up will make Alexey or Vladimir will remove a hat from the bottom or top of the selected column respectively. If the player is finished removing hats, they may exit the Sale screen by moving the pair of helpers to the Pass sign to the right of the playfield and pressing Spacebar.
Bonus
