Remember, there are only three lives per level and you need to clear the level in the given amount. The game’s protagonist is Homer Simpson, who is competing with the other participants in the Ball of Death. Every level defines the collectibles and the objective as the number of collectibles you should have. The collectibles can be anything as mentioned above, thrown around in the ball. There are some bonus pickups also, which are defined before the start, like Duff beer for level 1. You even have the description of the obstacle of the level, and you need to avoid it for saving your lives.

Each obstacle, if touched, reduces your hearts and when you hit the third obstacle, it means a picturesque crash. The game is interesting, with its own share of special effects and cut scene animation. Overall, the game is quite interesting and addictive and gives you a healthy dose of Simpson fun. A must try for the Simpsons fan, this one on Bootyarcade scores well on our rating charts.
