Gameplay[]
Strawberry Shortcake Apocalypse is a platform game in which the player controls Strawberry herself, who must gather 25 crystals and defeat the main antagonists of the story: Peculiar Purple Pieman, his new superweapon Raisin Cane and Raisin's power sources, the renegade Elementals. Much of the game takes place in a "Virtual Reality (VR) Hub System" created by Sweet to help Strawberry gather the crystals.
The VR Hub System is split up into five "VR Hubs"; initially, only the first VR Hub is available. Each VR Hub has five teleportation portals to different levels. The goal in each level is to find and obtain the Crystal hidden in the area. In some levels, the Crystal will be located at the end of a level. Also, there is some mini-bosses at the end of every fourth levels. After completing all five levels in a VR Hub, a sixth teleportation portal to a boss level with Raisin will appear. By defeating the boss, the next VR Hub will become available for play. When all 25 Crystals are collected and Purple Pieman and Raisin are defeated, the game is won.
Secret L-O-U letters are scattered in every level, in which to spell Lou, an entity from the 2017 Disney Pixar short film of the same name. Reminiscent of K-O-N-G letters from Donkey Kong Country series, despite it was three letters.
Strawberry start the game with four lives. She lose a life when she lose a health. More health can be replenish by breaking heart crates and more lives can be earned by instructing Strawberry to collect 100 strawberries, or by breaking open a special crate to collect a life. If Strawberry run out of lives, the game is over. However, the game can be continued by selecting "Continue" at the game over screen.
Story[]
Elements Reawaken[]
Peculiar Purple Pieman and his daughter, Raisin Cane has found the secret Mayan temple underneath the berry patch. The relic is used by Pieman and Uka Uka to awaken the elementals. While the wall is working, the elements reawaken in which Clod represents earthquakes, Wade Ripple represents floods, Ember Lumen represents volcanic eruptions, and Gale Cumulus represents storms and tornadoes. Pieman has been succeeded to reawaken the elementals and culminating the Mayan apocalypse, and Raisin Cane became an ultimate weapon after the crows, spiders and porcupines.
Watching TV[]
Meanwhile, Strawberry Shortcake and Spring Fairy watching TV about the food, but suddenly the TV changed to a breaking news about the natural disaster apocalypse, the fairy brings Strawberry must stop the apocalypse while she has no friends (which it could be kidnapped by Purple Pieman himself) and Strawberry must try to defeat the elements by defeating Raisin and Pieman and release her friends.
Two Elements Defeated[]
Pieman, Raisin, and Uka Uka are watching TV in his castle, the earthquakes and floods later been stopped by Strawberry herself, Pieman still believe that two elements that represents volcanic eruptions and tornadoes, but his castle was a volcanic lair and Pieman thinks the lair is remind us Bowser's castle from Super Mario series and Ursula's lair from The Little Mermaid. Later, Purple Pieman and Raisin got an idea, he made a giant robot called "Giant Pieman Robot" that reminiscent of the giant comes from Jack and the Beanstalk fairy tale, the Giant Pieman Robot is more stronger.

Gameplay differences from HyperGolem's Crash Bandicoot Apocalypse[]
- Instead of collecting Wumpa Fruits, it collects strawberries as the points and just like the endless runner game Strawberry Shortcake: Berry Rush.
- Strawberry uses the warp rooms similar to other Crash Bandicoot fangames, which it uses doors and straight warp room.
- Strawberry still using spin attack and slide, but there is no body slam, just like insanebrio's Crash Bandicoot: Unleashed Darkness.
- Most enemies in berry patch levels are snails rather than turtles.
- The mini-bosses will encounter Strawberry at the every fourth levels, except for the fifth warp room.
Trivia[]
- This is the first Strawberry Shortcake fangame is to be canon in Berry Bitty Adventures and Discovery Family universe.
- Not counting Dress Up Dreams, this marks Strawberry Shortcake game to have any antagonists rather than Purple Pieman.
- This is ironically how Purple Pieman in Berry Bitty Adventures show was intended to be in this show, but it was moved to comics and 2018 shorts.
- The soundtrack is could be composed by Cherry's Timezone Radio and uses the original compositions and even a remixes from Crash Bandicoot games as well as the other games.
- Same as Inside Out: The Fan Game, the characters from Elemental will still hostile and this including Clod and Gale Cumulus.
- In Inside Out: The Fan Game, Wade Ripple and Ember Lumen was returned in this game after wreaking havoc against Joy.
- The main menu theme uses a Touhou arrangement of "Sunshine Girls" song.
