Mechanized brutality brings a devastating onslaught to an already disheveled planet as the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation wages high-tech war against the Militia. Diverse modes of play utilize two separate fields of operation. Pilots can run freely with minimal hopes of withstanding the brutish Titan machines; luckily, they can take the helm of these gargantuan robots to render ultimate annihilation.

Stretching sideways will cover ground a lot faster, squashing flat allows the putty to pick-up items and absorb them, stretching upwards allows the putty to climb, it can inflate to allow it to float upwards or the putty can morph a fist to battle in an attack. The putty collects stars to increase the power of the attack. First, it increases the power of the punch, but further along in the game it allows him to throw bombs, electrocute the enemy and to blow darts. The star power goes down each time the putty gets hit by the enemy.
