The third of my Guest Editor-impelled picks for great indie games you might have missed, following Venture Arctic and Deadly Rooms Of Death, is for Grubby Games' indie/casual puzzle title Professor Fizzwizzle and the Molten Mystery.
Created by the small Canadian-based studio, the puzzle-based 2D platform game was recently reviewed on indie site GameTunnel, who explain handily of the gameplay: "Your goal is simply to guide the kindly professor and inventor through levels from one teleporter to another teleporter. Along the way you'll need to ensure that the Professor can cross all manner of gaps and blockades and dangerous bat-bots that bar his passage."
So it's logic puzzles in a cute family-friendly manner? Yep, and you just don't see this kind of thing from the mainstream any more - also worth noting there's a prequel and the Katamari vs. Breakout fun of Fizzball also in the company's line-up - neet.

I bet I'm one of the few people that has actually played this game.
I've played it before along with Toblo(sp?) but I think out of all the indie games I've played Toribash is my favorite.
I just played a bit of Fizzball. I'm a sucker for spritework, and the title screen is pure awesome.
Talk about a blast from the past. I haven't played that game in about 13 years.

Zack and Wiki?
Professor Layton's Mysterious Village (or whatever that was called)?
this game rocks seriously...
and it got REALLY hard. I almost toasted my tinny brain in some 'advanced' puzzles.
Fizzball is amazing too, and it's safe for your brain noodles
