Esikhathini esiningi, umdlalo ungumdlalo wesenzo-platformer we-3D. Indaba, ebekwe ngezikrini ezihlokozelwe kahle ezilingisa ngokuphelele isitayela sobuciko sombukiso, iyindawo yakhe enkulu. Isakhiwo sizizwa sengathi sikhishwe ngqo kusukela kumaskripthi omsebenzi: ngemuva kokuthi uProfessor Farnsworth athengise i-Planet Express kumphathi omubi weCorporate, uMom, uthola ngaphezu kwamaphesenti angamashumi amahlanu ubunikazi bomhlaba, okumenza abe ngumbusi womhlaba.

Ngenkathi usebenza, izilawuli zivame ukuzizwa zingalungile futhi zingahlakaniphile, isifo esivamile sama-platformer we-3D kusukela ngaleso sikhathi. Ikhamera ingaba yinto ebuhlungu ngokukhethekile, ijikelezwe njalo endaweni noma yehluleke ukuhlinzeka ngombono ocacile wezenzo, okwaholela emihlangweni elahlekile nokufa okungalungile. Imidlalweni, kokubili uFry noLeela, ngokushesha iba yinto eyenzeka njalo, okungena khona ukujula ukuze ihlale ihlanganisa kulo lonke ubude bomdlalo. Ubunzima bungaba nokungafani kakhulu, ngezigqoko ezingazelelwe ezizizwa njengomkhiqizo wokwakhiwa okungenziwa ngaphandle kokukhetha kunokuqhathana okuhle.
