Chip Chan Kick is a platform game similar in style to Bubble Bobble and particularly to Parasol Stars . There are two playable characters, both of which are little girls. There is no difference between them gameplay-wise: both use a large blob-like animal to hit enemies from a short distance in a yo-yo-like fashion. It is possible to choose one of them as a single player, or to use them both cooperatively in the two-player mode.
The game features 10 stages per level, all with platform constructions on single screens. The player must eliminate all the enemies who wander around the stage before being able to advance to the next one. Defeated enemies turn into random power-ups, including speeding up the character, making her have two or even three blobs instead of one, adding an extra life, making her invincible for a while, etc. The final stage of each level requires the player to defeat a boss. Bosses come in two forms: a regular-sized version that takes time to defeat and can revive regular enemies, and a traditional platform game over-sized monster with different attacks.
