Puzzle Platformer Ranging from the Fair to the Fiendish
A sequel to the acclaimed Professor Fizzwizzle (a 2006 IGF finalist), Professor Fizzwizzle and the Molten Mystery is a polished puzzler in which you must maneuver crates, barrels, magnets and other objects to get from each level's starting point to its exit. Each object has different characteristics, and you need to think clearly about how to succeed. Luckily, there are nice features to prevent this from becoming an exercise in frustration: "u" undoes your last move, "r" restarts the level, and you can always ask to see a run-through of the current level if you're stumped.
The new game adds a variety of power-ups and other features (heat and ice guns, bat bots, etc.) to allow somewhat more complex puzzles than the original game. Indeed, it contains three different sets of levels--a simple path, a normal one, and an extremely difficult set as well.
Definitely a game that puzzle fans will enjoy.
