How the Game Works
In Meal Melee, the player (Gerry Gelato), must use Gerry's frying pan and various items and power-ups to battle the sentient ingredients of a dish that matches the theme of the level. The dish being made serves as the boss of the level. When the player has killed a certain number of each ingredient, the boss appears. For example, in level 1, the dish is a cheeseburger and therefore the ingredients are:
- Sesame seed buns
- Raw ground beef patties
- Tomatoes
- Blocks of cheese
As the game progesses, new enemy types and hazards provide an increase in difficulty for the player.
