About Professor Madhouse

A long, long time ago there was an elf who lived in a forest. He liked to help all the animals. One day all the forest's inhabitants disappeared. The elf went to Professor Madhouse's home for help because the professor was known for taking care of the creatures of the forest. But after reaching his home, the elf discovered that since his last visit the professor had changed a lot, and what's more - that he is the one who imprisoned the animals! The elf decides to release them all and find out why the professor turned evil.

Professor Madhouse is an adventurous game of logic for young children. By controlling a small dwarf, the player explores various rooms of a nutty professor's home with the goal of releasing the animals the professor kidnapped from the forest. While exploring and solving puzzles, the elf must be careful not to make too much noise, for this causes the Professor to appear and the player must then restart the current level.

The fairy-tale style graphics seem like they’re straight from a children's picture book. The locations and all the characters are hands drawn to create a wonderful fairy-tale atmosphere. Each animation was created with careful attention to detail and with the youngest audience in mind. Animations of the animals and the professor are designed to delight.

The locations were created for very young minds so the puzzles are easy to solve. Each puzzle is a separate story of a captured animal. One story is about a donkey running after a carrot and another about a raccoon whose fur has lost its color. Each stage is made to be fun for children.

No animal, elf, human or other creature suffered during the production of the game.

Features:
• Gameplay friendly for the youngest audiences
• Fairy-tale style, hand-drawn graphics
• Animations that make children smile
• Easy but interesting puzzles

The game developer, Red Dev Studio, is a rapidly growing company that produces games for both mobile and desktop platforms. A team of young and ambitious enthusiasts of electronic entertainment, they are looking for new ways to design gameplay and create their own graphic style.

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 unfortunately not all developers have the budget or talent to deliver this, despite 3D graphics cards hitting the mainstream in the 1990's. Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having th…

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".

People call it a kids game, but I think kids would be bored to tears by it and frustrated by the trial and error nature of some of the puzzles. It's an okay time waster for adults, albeit one you may be a little embarrassed to be caught playing. Nothing too special about it, but it is functional at least.

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.
