Introduce
In Krusty's Fun House, players control Krusty the Clown, the famous clown from The Simpsons, on a unique mission to rid his "Fun House" of mice and monsters. This game is a blend of puzzle and platforming genres. The primary objective of each level is to guide a group of various Simpsons characters – including Bart, Lisa, Maggie, Homer, and Groundskeeper Willie – to a safe exit.
Each level is divided into multiple rooms or areas, forming a complex maze. Krusty must interact with the environment by moving blocks, activating switches, and utilizing various mechanisms to clear a path for the characters to traverse. These characters typically move automatically in a straight line until they encounter an obstacle or a turn, requiring the player to plan and act quickly to direct them.
Krusty is not just a guide but also has to contend with numerous enemies. He can throw pies at them to defeat them. Collecting Krusty's "K" letters scattered throughout the level is essential to unlock the exit for the characters. Sometimes, players also need to collect other special items or complete sub-objectives to progress.
The level design of Krusty's Fun House demands logical thinking and problem-solving skills. Players must carefully calculate the characters' paths while ensuring Krusty's safety from enemies. Once all characters have reached the exit, the level is completed, and the player moves on to the next challenge within Krusty's fun house.
