The player controls a living [[mummy]], named Chuck D. Head, through various side-scrolling levels to battle an underworld army led by Max D. Cap. Levels contain many enemies and hazards that can harm or kill Chuck, and power-ups to collect; at the end of the last level in every area, there is a boss to defeat. The player has a small number of [[Health (gaming)|health units]], displayed as [[heart]]s, and a small number of lives. The fictional island the game takes place on, shaped like a [[skeleton]], is split apart into many pieces. Individual levels are named after parts of the skeleton, such as Abdomainland or Armington. Some levels require the player to collect a certain item for Dr Frank N. Stein, the [[mad scientist]] who created Chuck.
Chuck resembles an ordinary mummy, except for the fact that he has no head and he has a face implanted in his [[torso]]. During the game, Chuck attacks enemies by extending his face out to hit them or by jumping on them. While jumping, players can repeatedly hit the jump button to slow down Chuck's descent. Chuck may collect a [[Human skull|skull]] power-up; which will sit on his shoulders like a head and can be thrown at enemies. Like a boomerang, it will return to him no matter what it hits, or where it goes, but if Chuck gets hit by an enemy or hazard, he will lose the skull. During the game, Chuck may also collect a variety of [[potion]]s, which can be collected and used at the player's leisure. The potions consist of powerups typical for the genre, such as invincibility, instantly eliminating all enemies on screen, increasing speed and jumping power, freezing enemy movement, and increasing the range and power of Chuck's punch.
=== Differences from ''Magical Hat'' ===
Gameplay remains similar between the two games, albeit the graphics, characters, music and level designs have all been changed. Also, in ''Magical Hat'', players are killed if they are hit once, while in ''Decap Attack'', players can choose to have up to three hearts per life at the options menu before starting the game, with health upgrades found in certain levels of the game allowing players to have a maximum of five hearts (a total of ten hits) per life. Flagpoles that can restore health in ''Decap Attack'' increase lives in ''Magical Hat''. The hardest and coolest boss in the game is Mighty Mole.
