The Smurfs Nightmare is the third installment of the Smurfs series about little blue dwarfs and their arch-nemesis, evil wizard Gargamel. This time evil Gargamel casts an evil spell on the Smurf village, trapping all the sleeping Smurfs inside horrible nightmares.
You, brave Smurf, must go into their houses to rescue them. To enter a house, you'll need a key for it. Each house represents a different environment, as well as different monsters and goals. The gameplay is in 3rd-person side-scrolling view, where you'll move, jump on opponents to eliminate them, use different mechanisms to reach certain places, and collect the necessary number of magical leaves to finish the level.
