Stephen King's It is making its triumphant return to theatres on Sept. 8 in a remake starring Bill Skarsgärd as the terrifying clown-faced villain. While we're waiting for the film to hit theatres, fans can enter the spooky world inhabited by Pennywise the Clown (a.k.a. It) in this new 8-bit online game. 

In this It-themed game, which people can play online for free, players help navigate the S.S. Georgie down a sewer, popping red balloons while avoiding obstacles like a missing poster and Betty Ripsom's shoe. Of course, the biggest obstacle of all is Pennywise the Clown himself. 

Watch the trailer for It below.
