In Wiping the player controls a vacuuming robot to scour and clean up. Each scene has the robot vacuuming dust off the floor while tackling the dust bunnies Baddon, Bilbola and Bigimba. Although some dust bunnies can easily be sucked up or repeatedly shot with cleaning projectiles, the more aggressive ones like Bigimba have ranged attacks. Cleaning dust off the floor limits the capabilities of the dust bunnies. Rolling carpets can be strategically used to eliminate one or more dust bunnies. One hit from a dust bunny loses a life. When all dust bunnies are cleared, the player proceeds to the next scene. Items can also be collected for bonus points. The scenes become progressively harder with faster and more numerous dust bunnies. There is no ending to the game, just attempts to get the highest score possible.
