However, the first rat who steps on an empty jar will fall into it and be stuck, and at that point it ''is'' a normal block and rats can move over it safely. The player can pick up the jar and release the rat from it to get them to the trap, but the jar vanishes.

The player can pick up the jar and release the rat from it to get them to the trap, but the jar vanishes. Some levels require you to use the jars as blocks to help herd the rats along, and only once the loose ones are taken care of can you safely free the one(s) trapped in the jars.

The idea behind the game is that the titular fun house is infested with rats. Players control Krusty as he navigates the areas of the fun house, utilizing contraptions and blocks (''lots'' of blocks) to create a path through the level to lead the rats to the "goal", where one of his helpers - Bart, Homer, Sideshow Mel, or Corporal Punishment, depending on the area - will kill the furry vermin one-by-one. Along the way Krusty also has to defend himself against other nasty enemies, including snakes, flying pigs, and aliens with ray guns -- your guess is as good as ours.
The game can be thought of as a reverse ''VideoGame/{{Lemmings}}'', a puzzle game where the player has to manipulate the environment to lead a group of little critters to a goal, except in this game you're killing them, not saving them. The player is also a presence in the level itself, and has to both create a path for the rats and a path for Krusty to move about the level and get out once they're gone. Aside from herding the rats to their untimely demise, Krusty can look for secret areas to unlock bonus levels and collect power-ups.

* BonusStage: The final level in each area of the funhouse contains no rats to get rid of, and may contain enemies, but typically is short and simple with few puzzle elements. You just get to collect some power-ups, unlock the next area, and leave.
* TheCameo: Aside from Krusty and his helpers, other ''Simpsons'' characters can be found in the background. For instance, Sideshow Bob appears on posters advertizing poetry readings at Springfield Jail, Kent Brockman appears on posters for Channel 6, and there's advertisements for Ned Flanders' Leftorium. And of course there's a whole lot of background elements advertising various Krusty-brand items.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: In each of the game's five areas, the methods of killing the rats are quite disturbing: Bart crushes them with a giant boxing glove, Homer zaps them with a laser, Sideshow Mel inflates them with an air tube until they explode, Corporal Punishment swallows them, and in the final area Bart returns to slice them up with a giant slotted cheese grater.

* FallingDamage: Krusty will die if he falls from too high, with the size of the screen being a fair indicator of how big a drop he can take without keeling over.
* HubWorld: The main hall of the funhouse is divided into five areas with doors to each level. Clearing all the levels in an area unlocks a final level where the player can unlock the gate that leads to the next area of the funhouse.

* InventoryManagementPuzzle: Has shades. Krusty can only carry one item, so if you need to move several blocks between two areas, you're doing it one-at-a-time.
