Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

The gameplay involves fighting and puzzle-solving through twenty levels, using Flint's self-created gadgets such as a heat gun made from a hair dryer, which can be used to melt obstacles composed of ice cream, or a mechanical boxing glove to punch food. Each level features thirty specific destroyable food items. Destroying all of them unlocks a piece of a blueprint for a special item.

The game also features co-op mode, allowing a second player to join in anytime as Flint's pet monkey Steve.
