The player's objective is to solve puzzles by cleverly rearranging WorkerDroids by changing their colours, and guide them to door-opening triggers, switches or electrified tiles. The player can shoot red, blue or yellow paint using the ChromaGun. These colours can be mixed together on walls and droids to create green, purple and orange, until a final brown colour is reached.

The primary colors can be mixed together on walls and Worker Droids to create the [[secondary color]]s green, purple and orange. Mixing more than two different colors will result in black, which Worker Droids are not attracted to.


The game consists of many short puzzle levels to solve, however a single mistake can render a puzzle unsolvable meaning the level has to be restarted. In general there is only one solution to each level. There are 26 Levels offering a total game play time of 4–5 hours.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gamezebo.com/2015/07/16/chromagun-part-portal-part-preschool-test-prep-fun/|title=ChromaGun is Part Portal, Part Preschool Test Prep, All Fun|publisher=Gamezebo|accessdate=13 May 2016}}</ref>
