The game uses a side-view 2D fighting format where players choose a character and battle one-on-one. Core actions include movement, jumping, blocking, and multiple attack strengths, along with special moves performed through directional inputs and button combinations. It features solo and local versus play, with matches usually decided by draining the opponent's life bar. Compared with ClayFighter 63⅓, this edition adds exclusive characters, stages, and gameplay adjustments.

Bad Mr. Frosty

One of the series' signature fighters, a violent snowman with straightforward and powerful attacks.

Blob

A bizarre clay creature focused on shapeshifting antics and awkward close-range pressure.

Earthworm Jim

Guest character from the Earthworm Jim series, bringing exaggerated animation and recognizable moves.

HoboCop

A parody robot cop whose attacks match the game's offbeat comedic tone.

Learn your chosen character's reliable normal attacks and special move ranges first. Mid-range control is often safer than rushing constantly, especially against counter-heavy opponents. Use anti-air attacks whenever the opponent jumps predictably, and avoid overcommitting to slow heavy strikes. In single-player matches, safer jump-in attacks and simple confirms can be more reliable than flashy combos.

The expanded roster and stages make it an interesting upgrade, even if the series remains intentionally odd to play.
