About Gremlins 2

Gremlins 2 for the Game Boy adapts the film's premise, casting the player as Gizmo who must fight through the Clamp Centre to reach the Control Center and eliminate the Gremlin threat. The gameplay involves navigating side scrolling platform environments while confronting various enemies.

Gizmo has access to an arsenal of improvised weapons, ranging from a pencil to a toolbox, which are used against different Gremlin types and other creatures like spiders, bats, and rats. Environmental hazards and enemy attacks can damage Gizmo, but he can sustain several hits before losing a life, making the difficulty fair.
