Dexter's Laboratory: Mandark's Lab?

200280/100
Adventure
A 2D adventure through a slapstick cartoon world, this title's appeal lies in its surprisingly complex inventory puzzles and the way it nails the show's aesthetic. You'll switch between Dexter, Dee Dee, and the robotic counterparts to solve environmental challenges, all while navigating a series of interconnected, physics-based puzzles. While the gameplay is simple, the game's charm and unique premise are what kept players coming back for more.

About Dexter's Laboratory: Mandark's Lab?

Details
Cartoon Network's boy genius Dexter is trying to save his laboratory from his archival Mandark in Dexter's Laboratory: Mandark's Lab? Mandark has infiltrated Dexter's lab and reprogrammed his computer, so players must help Dexter win it back by completing this adventure game covering four areas comprised of Dexter's house and his laboratory. In each area there are two mini-games and four hidden blueprint pieces to one of Dexter's inventions that give him an advantage in each of the mini-games. Both Dee Dee's Dance Off, which has players pressing buttons in time to music, and Cootie Call where Dexter exterminates flying cootie bugs, take place in Dee Dee's bedroom. What's Buggin' Dexter, a foot race between Dexter and a bug that could potentially infect his computer, takes place in his computer's circuit board, and Dexter's Dodgeball takes place in the school yard with Dexter targeting school bullies with playground balls.
