Professor Fizzlewizzle and the Molten Mystery

By: Derek Yu

On: June 8th, 2007

Professor Fizzwizzle is back in an all new adventure that looks very similar to his old adventure. But fortunately, his old adventure was pretty good, so if you enjoyed it and wanted more of the same, then this should be right up your alley!

And just to get you up to speed if you haven’t played the first game, it’s a puzzle platformer, and an extremely well-made one, to boot.

Quote Gamespot:

The 2007 Game of the Year prize went to Aquaria, the previously unhonored 2D fantasy game from indie shop Bit Blot. After stumbling verbally, one of its designers admitted, “This is a terrible speech.” But the massive applause proved the audience didn’t really care.
