Plot
Megabyte has found a way to use the power of energy tears to reach the core of the principle office thanks to Hexadecimal's mirrors and is determined to take over Mainframe. You play as the lead character Bob, mending tears and destroying deadly adversaries in the six sectors of Mainframe: Baudway, Cit E (also known as Wall Street), Beverly Hills, Kits, Floating Point Park and G-Prime along with the island of Lost Angles.

Weapons
Bob starts the game with an ordinary pistol, but as you progressed through the game you could obtain more powerful weapons:
- Pistol Triangle: This upgraded your original pistol from a slow shooter to a rapid fire gun.
- Blaster Triangle: Shot a deadly electrical charge, the more you collected, the bigger the charge.
- Rocket Triangle: Best used on long range targets, the more you collected the more rockets you could fire.
Glitch
This was Bob's variety of keytools to either mend a tear or defeat an enemy:
- Tear Mender: Your default tool used to mend tears scattered around Mainframe. It had unlimited energy.
- Box Gun: Froze your opponents for a limited time.
- Mortar: Fired explosive grenades.
- Vampire: A boomerang like weapon used to steal health from enemies and replenish your own.
- Anti Virus: Scrambled the wires of Megabyte's basic weapon, the turret, and turns it against your enemies.
- Grapple: Used automatically if Bob fell into a void, it consumed one third of your weapon energy, if you didn't have enough to use it, Bob fell to his death.
