Description

"Krusty's Fun House," released for the Sega Game Gear, features the beloved clown from "The Simpsons" franchise, Krusty, as he endeavors to clear his fun house of infesting rodents. In this engaging puzzle-platformer hybrid, players help Krusty by navigating through various themed levels, each littered with obstacles and enemies, to direct small, rat-like creatures towards traps operated by other recognizable characters from the series, such as Bart, Homer, and Sideshow Mel. As players progress, they encounter increasingly challenging puzzles that require strategic placement of blocks and the use of timing to successfully guide the rats into these traps, thereby clearing each level.
