Phone

The phone is an item in Bomb Rush Cyberfunk which has various purposes. It is used by the characters to communicate with one another, mainly via texts instead of phone calls. It can also be used to access a map of the area, check on the spray patterns for graffiti designs, play songs, take photos, and play games like Micro Boy. When checking the phone, the total REP in the current area will be displayed in the upper right of the screen.
Note that you do not need to keep still when you have the phone open. Characters can continue to walk around, spray graffiti, do tricks and combos, and even dance while still having their phone out.
When you receive a new message, or collect a new CD or graffiti design, you can press the right menu button (either right arrow key on keyboard, or right directional pad on a controller) to immediately view the message/design or play the track. Otherwise you will need to manually find it in its respective menu later.
==Main Menu==
When the player presses left/up/right on the directional pad or arrow keys, the character they're playing as opens their phone to its main menu. The player can then use the phone navigation buttons (either arrow keys on keyboards, or the directional pad on a controller) to move up and down in the menu. Pressing right with the phone open will go into the currently selected menu option. Pressing left in any of the submenus will have the phone return to the main menu.
The main menu also shows the map of the current area. Similar to the map on the pause menu, the map on the phone can be adjust by moving around the camera. It also contains the same icons marking mission locations, public toilets, cypher spots, and taxi signs, though they can be hard to see at smaller window sizes.
==Messages==
The messages menu shows text messages that have been received on the phone. You can scroll up and down here, and then press right to view a particular message. Throughout the game, you will receive messages from the other characters, both as part of the story and for side missions.
==Music==
The music menu will show whatever music tracks and mixtapes that are available to play. Whatever track is currently playing will be indicated by its CD icon spinning around. Pressing right on a track will play it, or otherwise stop it if it is already currently playing.
Pressing up while at the top of the music menu will select an extra icon near the top. Pressing right while this icon is selected will let you switch between loop mode (looping through the entirety of the music menu) and shuffle mode (shuffling through the music tracks at random).
There is a bar near the bottom of the menu that will show what's left of the song that's currently playing. The closer to the end of the song, the more the bar will be filled.
==Graffiti==
The graffiti menu on the phone will shown whatever graffiti designs the player has collected. Each one will show the size (M, L, or XL) and its name.
You can scroll up and down to select a design, and then pressing right on a particular design will show the spray pattern needed to spray it onto a graffiti spot. It will also show the name of the design's artist.
==Camera==
With the camera open, you can press right to take a photo. Pressing up will cycle through different filters, while pressing down will switch between normal and selfie mode for the camera perspective. Moving the overall game camera will also adjust the phone's camera at the same time.
The Camera app is not available until after starting Chapter 2. When you go to leave the hideout and head to Millennium Square, Bel stops you and says she installed the camera app on your phone for you.
==Photos==
The photos menu shows you the photos you've actually taken on your phone. You can either view a particular photo in full or delete it. Also note that the phone can only hold 50 photos maximum.
The Photos app is also not available under Chapter 2. Bel installs this app alongside the Camera app.
==Micro Boy==
Micro Boy is a game you can play on the phone. Once you're playing, you can move the character up and down to collect golden microchips while dodging walking bombs. If you character touches one of the bombs, it will result in a game over.
==Trivia==
* There is an unused 8-ball fortune telling game for the phone in the game's code. It is not normally accessible in the game, but can be added back in using mods. It gives various amounts of boost charges depending on the type of fortune you get, including getting nothing if you get a bad fortune.Bomb Rush Cyberfunk - Unused/Unreleased Fortune App (Archive link)
