Spranky Transformer is a side-scrolling action game where players control a character that can switch between two distinct forms. Each form possesses unique movement and attack abilities, which must be strategically utilized to navigate levels and defeat enemies.

The touchscreen controls are adapted for mobile, with virtual buttons for movement, jumping, and the central transformation mechanic. Gameplay revolves around solving environmental puzzles and combat scenarios by instantly swapping forms to access new areas or exploit enemy weaknesses.

Levels are designed for short play sessions, featuring platforming challenges, collectibles, and boss encounters. The core loop involves mastering the timing of transformations to progress through increasingly complex stages.
