Devious Designs is a puzzle game where geometric shapes have to be assembled. The player controls a secret agent with the ability to walk on the walls, lift heavy objects and shoot. Using these, he must drag and drop the geometric pieces scattered on the screen (by standing next to them and holding the fire button) onto translucent slots. Each level is a screen with a timer on the top. When the counter runs out, the level is reset and the player looses one life.

Like in Bubble Bobble, various objects fall from the screen that can be collected for points, along with more useful power-ups like explosives, extra-time, extra-lives and a special block than fills a slot (it can be shot if it's not needed). Also, if the player takes too long to solve the level a random enemy appears, but it can be killed by the agent's gun.
