Highly engaging retro puzzle-game: Mario meets Myst

By at 10:28 pm Saturday, Sep 17

Ryan sez, "We're a new indie game dev outfit, and we've just finished our Professor Fizzwizzle, our first game. It's a 2D platform puzzle game, with a retro cartoony feel to it. If you liked 'The Incredible Machine' you'll probably like this."

I just lost two hours of my life to this game! I never played Incredible Machine, but this reminds me a lot of my favorite 8-bit and Apple ][+ games: Lemmings, Burger Time, Super Mario Bros -- with a dash of Myst-grade problem-solving thrown in. Highly recommended -- check out the cross-platform demos. Link (Thanks, Ryan!)
