IMDb
Because of a glitch in Talking Ben's computer, monsters from the video game world are pouring into town and turning everyone into piles of pixels. Talking Tom and Talking Ben race to save the world as their friends fall one by one to the invading horde. In order to fix this, they'll have to turn to some of their greatest enemies. But will even that be enough?

Plot
Previously, Tom and Ben injected a cheat code for SquareStack that largely multiplied the number of Zappers. Now, they've made it into the real world through a hole in Tom's garage.

The Zappers started pouring into the world, zapping everything they saw. One of them zapped The Landlord, which turned him into a lifeless block. Quickly, Ben gathers some science equipment and evacuates the garage. They find on the outside a huge glowing beacon that extended into the sky. The zappers leave the garage, zapping lamp posts, cars and people.

Tom tried phoning Angela, but she didn't respond. So, Ben formulates a plan for an invention that would close the tunnel between their world and the digital world. However, Ben would need a place with electricity to build the device.

They go to the CEO's office. They build the machine, but not without Ben arguing with the CEO and breaking some of his equipment. Meanwhile, Angela was at a concert that Tom didn't show up for. This made Angela quit music during the events of Retro Sonic Angela. Then, the zappers burst in, but Angela was able to play on her keyboard to charm the zappers while Hank and Ginger got away.

They burst into the CEO's office, telling them that Angela distracted the zappers. They needed to hold off the zappers for 30 seconds, then the machine will be ready. However, at the last second, the CEO "accidentally" runs into the invention, smashing it into pieces. He uses a desk chair that flew him and his goldfish out the window. He watched as the town before him became cubed, but a zapper finds him and cubes him, causing him to fall into the arms of a park statue.

Meanwhile, Tom, Ben, Hank and Ginger run into the CEO's bathroom, where there was a giant toilet. They could flush themselves down the toilet, but Hank had to hold the door, and one of them had to flush the toilet. Ginger ultimately sacrificed himself so Tom and Ben had to escape. He flushed the toilet, and the zappers burst in. They zap Hank, then Ginger stands proudly as he was cubed.

Tom and Ben travel to the sewers and end up in a prison hallway. He picks up an ID card, and opened a door. It was the room where Jeremy was locked up. They had to make a deal with him.

They go back to the garage where the hole became a vortex that tried to suck Tom and Ben in, and the objects around it were floating. They clinged onto the bathroom door, but the vortex was strong enough for Tom to let go of Ben, causing Ben to be zapped and Jeremy to be flying around the hole. Acting fast, Tom parkours across the tables and chairs, dodging the zappers, and grabs Jeremy. Tom was zapped, but just before he became cubed, he threw Jeremy into the hole.

Jeremy infected the zappers' world, causing the zappers to be on earth to die and all cubed items to return to its original state. The vortex stops sucking and closes, and the gravity is restored. The CEO also uncubes, which still leaves him in an uncomfortable position. However, as part of the deal, they had to let Jeremy move into the garage.

However, Xenon enters the door, and had to arrest Ben for the zapper attack; she was a member of a shady agency that decided Ben was too dangerous. They also find out that Angela wasn't in her apartment, and realize she's missing. She got trapped into the zappers' world.
