Several key objects are encountered in the course of play. Although he can’t jump, Fizzwizzle does duck under things when required. Arrow keys handle directional movement up, down, left and right, while the number keys deploy objects and gadgets collected (controls are user configurable). Professor Fizzwizzle negotiates his world via mouse or keyboard, the latter being preferred. In all, 211 puzzles are included, 76 Kids’ levels, 85 Regular and 50 Advanced. Puzzles aren’t timed, allowing you to play at your own pace, but “footsteps” (moves) count – the fewer taken the better. Advanced, conversely, lives up to its moniker right out of the gate. Regular provides a moderate challenge with several ringers thrown in to ramp up the brain-teasing goodness. It’s simple enough in concept, but demanding in execution.Īs for play, a single mode is offered but variety comes via three varied skill levels: Kids, Regular and Advanced. Your goal? Successfully move Fizzwizzle from Point A to Point B. Like the original, Molten Mystery offers a collection of conundrums in the vein of classic puzzlers. This time he battles wits with Penny Pyroclast, a star pupil gone bad. In his first outing, the diminutive genius employed his brain and a collection of gadgets to get past his rampaging robots and back into his lab.

The third installment in the Fizzwizzle universe, following the original Professor Fizzwizzle brainteaser and the action-oriented FizzBall, Professor Fizzwizzle and the Molten Mystery continues the antics of the puzzle-busting professor. So, forget about working on that tan and sipping Pina Coladas. While taking a well-earned vacation, Professor Fizzwizzle’s investigation of an odd volcano landed him in the hot seat. Yeah, same here, and that mental respite’s long overdue. When was your last truly relaxing vacation? You know what I mean, a quality break from the pressures of life to unwind and clear your mind.
