''Deesaster Strikes'' has a simple structure. You take control of Dexter as he explores different sections of his titular lab in his mission to capture the Dee Dees. He can grab them with his grappling arm, and send them through the chutes spread throughout the levels, which stores them into his Clone-o-matic. However, its not that simple, Dexter also has to fend off rouge robots out to kill him, avoid deadly traps and fix broken machines with various tools, some of which are hidden inside of enemies.

* CycleOfHurting: Dexter doesn't get MercyInvincibility when he gets hit by enemies, so to compensate, he is knocked backward from the enemy instead. But this can be really bad in situations if he is knocked backward into a wall or obstacle, as the enemy can hit you again, and cause the damage can stack ''really'' high. Lord help you if you get Dexter caught in a trap of spikes or fire, you can be knocked into the trap right next to it, locking you in a hopeless situation until your health disappears completely.

* GameBreakingBug: In the final stage, there is a part where you have to use the wrench to fix a sink, but upon doing so, the wrench disappears from your inventory, preventing you from using it again, and rendering the level UnintentionallyUnwinnable. There is a patched version of the game that fixes the glitch, and players at the time could have sent their glitched copies of the game to the publisher to get them replaced with the patched versions.

'''Dexter's Laboratory: Deesaster Strikes!''' is a licenced 2001 ActionAdventure game, based on the ''Creator/CartoonNetwork'' animated show ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory''.

The story is relatively simple and true to the show's tradition. Our protagonist, Dexter, boy genius is working on his latest invention when his rambunctious older sister Dee Dee sneaks into the lab and messes around with his Clone-O-Matic machine. The machine not only clones Dee Dee, but splits her up into many tiny clones of herself. One Dee Dee was bad enough, now Dexter has to deal with hundreds of them!

The miniature Dee Dees now run amok in Dexter's lab. Its up to Dexter to hunt them all down, return them to the Clone-o-Matic to put Dee Dee back together, all before Mom calls him to dinner.
