Enter The Fuzzball
In Freakin' Funky Fuzzballs, you play as the aforementioned Fuzzball, who is both Freaky and Funky. The goal is to get the all the keys/keycards and escape through the door to the next level.
To find the keys to escape this grid like hell, you walk around the map. Walking over a tile will sometimes reveal an item, a door, or a key. The game takes place on a grid of tiles which alter state when walked on. Walk on a square enough times and the tile will disappear, leaving a horrible bottomless pit from which nothing escapes, not even Fuzzballs.
But its not just keys and doors you have to bother yourself with, there are a variety of items to collect, magic doo-dads, armour, teleporters, and some other cool junk! In your way, however, stands creatures who wish nothing more than to destroy you.
The game eventually shifts to have the tiles on an angle, in an isometric sort of way.
Oh the places you'l go!

- Dungeons
- Castles
- Nondescript black backgrounds
