The game featured a unique gameplay experience, combining classical single-player gaming with a two-player co-operative option. It takes place in a laboratory filled with strange machinery. The aim of the game was to build a machine capable of controlling the clumsy robot Sparkie.

Players control two characters, both with their own set of abilities. On the single-player game, the main objective is to move the robot around the laboratory, while avoiding various obstacles and reaching the exit. As it moves on the board, the player needs to acquire pieces of machinery and use them to construct the machine. Each piece of machinery comes with its own set of instructions and also with a Boolean logic puzzle. Together they allow the player to make his way to the exit.

On the two player mode, a friend can join the player to make the mechanical construction faster and easier. The friends can also work together to solve the intricate logic puzzles. This gives Sparkie a unique experience, as the game requires cooperation between the two players to progress.
