Mortimer is a helpless purple blob with a rather frightened look in his eye, and only with your help can he brave the dangers of a spooky castle, filled with dangerous pitfalls and spikes. The object of this puzzle game is to guide Mortimer from point A to point B across dozens of different levels, some of which are quite tough. You have no direct control over Mortimer, but in each level, you're given access to a number of different tiles that can be used to help him reach the exit. These range from simple blocks to trampolines, and by strategically placing them around each level, you'll allow the little guy to pass each stage and keep on going.
Many of the levels inevitably require lots of trial and error as you experiment with different combinations of blocks. Some levels seem fiendishly designed to trick you--sometimes the solution is simpler than it looks. However, the game's linear structure means it's possible to find yourself completely stuck on a given level, making Mortimer and the Enchanted Castle fairly frustrating at times. The simple graphics and sound don't help much, though some amusing audio cues give the game some personality.
