One of my favorite genres is platform games. I was lucky enough to come across Professor Fizzwizzle because of the unique and humorous name. The story of the game is that the Professor was working in his lab one day, when he decided to invent robots to help him do some of his work. Everything was going fine, until he accidentally turned the switch from happy to mad. The professor was promptly thrown out of his lab by the robots and is now forced to make his way back inside.
Like other platform games, the character has to reach the exit in order to pass the stage. You control the Professor, who is unfortunately uncoordinated. He is unable to jump and can’t climb over obstacles. In order to get through stages, you must push boxes, land on rolling barrels and trigger different switch-gates. All this happens, while trying to avoid those evil Madbots who follow you when they see you.
This game was very fun and I really enjoyed the puzzle/platform style of the game. However, I am inclined toward Mario-clone games, just because it is what I am used to, so I do prefer games where you have the ability to jump. Besides that, Professor Fizzwizzle has some great graphics and a kid-friendly plot that everyone can enjoy. There is also a feature that allows you to watch the computer solve the stage. This takes away from the challenge, unless you have the self-control to avoid the free pass on some of the more difficult levels. Overall, this was a solid game and I would give it 4 stars out of 5.
