Based on the AdultSwim cartoon Harvey Birdman, Stop That Sandwich! is a frantic game of 'keep-away' in an environment where everything is breakable.

The gist of the game is:

1. Locate the sandwich.
2. Procure the sandwich.
3. Abscond with the sandwich.
4. Destroy anything that dares get in your way.

Six characters from the show are playable -- Harvey Birdman, Reducto, Phil Ken Sebben, Peter Potamus, Avenger, and Bear. Each character features a standard melee attack and a unique special attack. Using a special attack consumes a 'star' -- and your supply of stars is limited -- so they must be used strategically. Stars can be picked up in various places around the map, but the best place to gain a star is by breaking things. Smashing objects awards major points and often causes a star to spawn.

There are three unique areas to explore. The game also features optional mission objectives for extra points. One objective might be to destroy all objects in the map that have anything to do with water. Some objectives require that you spare certain objects. Many of the objectives are cryptic in nature; you have to figure out the meaning on your own.

Like the Harvey Birdman show, the game has a random smattering of Hannah Barbara characters. Feel free to smash them as you see fit.
