The Good
This is a decent, pretty standard hidden object / adventure game with a decent number of puzzles. The music is good and suits the game. I have saved it to my pc but that was mainly to show that it was possible, the four tracks are each only around 100 seconds long.
The puzzles themselves were well done and well explained but there were a few novel ideas here that brought a smile to my face and that's why I have given it three stars.
The English is excellent and the mad doctor's voice acting is well done.
The Bad
Nothing bad really. There were a couple of occasions where I did not know what to do only to realise that I'd missed the notification that a recipe had appeared in the portable laboratory.
Unusually I do not remember the main character's name being mentioned at all during the game.
The Bottom Line
I've played games with better plots, better artwork, and tougher puzzles but, even though this story is a ridiculous bit of fluff that is full of holes, I thought it was a bit of fun.
I bought the game at a car boot this morning for 50p and I played through on the casual setting. I wasn't particularly rushing it and I reckon I spent around seven hours playing it.
