The Fidgetts

About

The Fidgetts is a puzzle platformer where you control two cartoon animals with distinct skills. One can leap higher to access elevated paths, while the other can lift and drop objects to create shortcuts or clear barriers. The goal in each level is to guide both characters to the exit within a time limit. Obstacles include bottomless pits and enemies that drain health or force respawns. The challenge lies in switching between the pair to solve environmental puzzles while managing limited time and lives. The game stands out for its clever use of dual-character mechanics in a portable puzzle format. Levels demand precise timing and strategic thinking, blending platforming and logic elements. While its 1993 release date makes it a niche title, fans of classic handheld puzzlers appreciate its tight design and replay value. The focus on cooperative problem solving without co-op multiplayer remains refreshing, even by modern standards.
