Charley Chuck
Charley Chuck is on a mission: to eat as many ice cream cones as he can. In order to do that, he must start from the right side of the kitchen and run over to the left side where the ice cream cone sits waiting and melting. The task may sound simple, but there are a bunch of chefs who are out to ruin Charley's day by dragging him to the ground, or getting his outfit covered with food. Charley's mom will have a fit if he comes home dirty, so Charley must do everything in his power to avoid getting his clothing messed up. The one thing he can do is give as good as he gets and throw food right back at the chefs. Whenever Charley stands before a pile of food, he always remembers to scoop up a handful in case he needs it later. In fact, whenever Charley reaches an ice cream cone, he starts the next stage with any food that he was holding in his hands.

The four Chefs
Ice cream headaches are not Charley's worst enemy. The four chefs, Chef Oscar, Chef Angelo, Chef Jacques, and Chef Zorba, are mortified that anyone would dare pass up their delicious delicacies in favor of having a cone of ice cream, and they're going to make sure that Charley gets the message. They rise out of holes that are positioned all around the kitchen, and will do anything they can to bring Charley down, whether it's getting their hands on him, or throwing some of their ingredients at him. Being chefs, they're used to getting a little food on themselves, but presentation is everything. So if Charley hits them with some food, they run to the back to get a clean new outfit, and return to the action through one of the holes. If a chef hits another chef with food, or a chef falls into one of the existing open holes, they will be taken out of play temporarily as well.

Ice Cream
Collecting the Ice Cream is Charley's one and only objective. It always sits on the left side of the kicthen, just waiting to be eaten. But, like all ice cream, it's prone to melting, and the kitchen is quite warm. So warm, in fact, that all of the ice cream will melt away in approximately 32 seconds. If such a fate befalls the ice cream, Charley loses one chance, so don't let that happen.

Throwing food
Every stage has an arrangement of food scattered throughout the kitchen. Knowing which types of food are good for what situations are the keys to battle.
