Professor Madhouse

It's horrible, and puzzles are fucking dull. It feels like the character is mentally challenged, if it's the case developer should point this out somewhere on store page because it's whole new level of challenge. Find on youtube and check how it moves, specially how it climbs the rope, you can wait all day for him to finally climb. Puzzles with noise meter could be fun, but game mechanics make it irritating. This game needs a lot of work more to fix all the issues and make it enjoyable. It should be now in Early Access and under active development. EDIT: Please, don't give this game to your children, before trying it yourself at least.

Professor Madhouse is an extremely badly made mobile/Flash like 2D point and click puzzle game where you're presented with various screens and must solve the puzzles in each one... it's badly made, slapped together incompetently with Corona/Solar2D, barely works, and when it does, it's an incoherent and unenjoyable mess. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics. The game features simple, cartoony 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low effort mobile apps. 3D graphics programming does require a degree of skill and competence and ...

I started this game with an open mind regardless of the negative reviews left here. That being said, I cannot recommend this game for children under the age of 12. The dialogue is too complex for "young children" but I understand the "cheeky" type story they were trying to go for. It is an incredible art style and very user-friendly for young children but the instructions aren't clear enough for beginners to video games. I feel as if this had been "voice-acted" instead of timed and click-through dialogue it may have gone over slightly better because there would be less for the children to take in. I really wish that I could have recommended this game, but I think it's pretty clear they entirely missed the mark for gearing toward "logic" for "young children".

i found this game while sorting my collection, but don't recall buying it, I was probably drawn by the illustrations on the store page, where there is no indication of the huge amount of reading involved. I can't imagine which children's age group is targeted, as the very young would not know what actions to perform and would soon be bored by an adult's droning, expressionless reading, . Older children would be put off by the seemingly endless pages of text (''You expect me to read all that ?? I thought this was a game.'') and would probably leave the scene before the story began, while those well able to read and understand the intended humour, would find the game and story babyish. The latter includes me, who gave up on reaching the cottage.
