Most of the gameplay requires the player to solve a series of real-time puzzles in which they use tools, such as a hammer or screwdriver, which the main character, Gubble D. Gleep (an alien), uses in a humorous way to remove the implements of these tools, such as nails and screws, from the playing area.
The opening storyline to Gubble (only found in the instruction booklet) follows that space pirates have fastened zymbots (the game's levels) to the fictional planet Rennigar, with Gubble D. Gleep being sent on a mission by a robot to remove them.
Gubble was later re-released for iOS.
