8-bit Mini-Mayhem is an online flash-based game. Ratchet, Clank, Qwark, and Dr. Nefarious are trapped in the Creature Collector's Vault and must escape. However, the collector has sent his minions after them and left the exit guarded by a Mega Laser Turret. Upon start, the player must select one out of the four available characters, with the remainder being controlled by computer. None of the characters have any actual differences besides looks. The characters are controlled by either the arrow or WASD keys, with the left mouse button being used to shoot.
Gameplay[]
Gameplay consists of standing on platforms to charge a portal. The amount and placement of platforms increases as you progress. During this process, enemies will appear per wave, followed by a short moment of respite in which crates drop, containing bolts, weapons, and power-ups. Bolts are not spendable, however, as they only serve to increase your point total. At the end of each round, players are rewarded with either a Bolt Master, Helper, Survivor, or Hunter award, each of which are worth points. The character that collects the most bolts, stood the most on platforms, has the most health left at the end of the match, or shoots the most enemies, is rewarded with each award accordingly.
Any player that dies becomes unavailable for the remainder of the round, though is restored to full health along with everyone else at the start of a new round. At the end of game, the characters have to fight a Mega Laser Turret until they can finally escape.
The enemy ranks are comprised of evil robots who previously appeared in My Blaster Runs Hot - The Game, with a few new additions:
- Harmless four legged drones.
- Bipedal robots equipped with blasters.
- Bulky robots who roll into a ball and ram targets.
- Large robots with a nuclear symbol on their back who fire blasts and explode upon defeat.
- The mega laser turret - a robot who fire large sweeping red eye lasers while firing from two cannons on either side of it. Its only weak point is its back.

| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Blaster | The default weapon, has a solid fire rate, but will be blocked the moment it hits anything, including friendly characters. |
| Mr. Zurkon | A synthenoid, an automated combat drone that shoots enemies on its own accord. |
| Pyro Blaster | A short range flamethrower, powerful with a high rate of fire, but ineffective against stronger enemies. |
| OmegaTech Frost Cannon | Fires very long and wide blasts that will stun enemies caught in its path. Has little ammo and is therefore most effective when used on groups. |
| Sheepinator | Fires blasts that turn both enemies and allies into sheep, though allies turn back after a short while. Stronger enemies resist the effect and take decent damage instead. |
| Warmonger | Fires powerful missiles, effective against the stronger enemies. |
| Bomb Drop | Upon pick-up, the character will continuously and automatically drop bombs that damage enemies within range. Relatively useless as upon pick-up, it will activate right away, whereas enemies take a moment to appear. It cannot be left behind and picked up later, as someone else will take it instead and not use it to its best. |
| Nanosphere | Restores the health of nearby characters. |
| Tackle Grabber | Takes the weapon of the nearest ally upon pick-up, transferring it to the character. |
| Void Bubble | Stops any enemy attacks on impact. |
