One of the game's key mechanics is the ability to utilize George's gadgets, including his trusty jetpack and other futuristic tools, to overcome obstacles and defeat enemies. Players start by selecting one of three initial levels, each featuring a different character from The Jetsons franchise: Elroy, Judy, and Jane, with its own unique ability.

The game's controls are adequate, but the character's size often leads to easy damage, especially when using the jetpack.

Overall, while "The Jetsons: Robot Panic" offers a pretty unique experience, and is a solid albeit short platforming game.
