The game takes players on a thrilling adventure through London's underground metropolis where players encounter enemies, waterfalls and traps as they thwart the villainous Toad and his evil plans. They will discover new environments unique to the game as they assume the roles of one of three characters in the film Roddy, an adventurous character who is suddenly "flushed" into a bustling world below the streets of London; Rita, a beautiful street-smart scrounger who is also a thief, and the Jammy Dodger, Rita's boat which has a unique personality of its own.
"We have worked closely with DreamWorks and Aardman to authentically bring the humor of the FLUSHED AWAY film and the personalities of its characters to life in our game," said Careen Yapp, vp of licensing and business development, D3PA.

Players may use a rat trap catapult, a dashing cocktail sword, pudding mix and other items found in the sewer to defeat enemies and dodge floating debris.
