Play Dexter's Laboratory - Chess Challenge (e)(independent) Online

I picked up Dexter's Laboratory: Chess Challenge for the Game Boy Advance back in 2002. It was an independent release, not from a major publisher, which made it a bit of an oddity on the platform. During that era, the GBA was full of licensed games, but this one stood out simply by being a puzzle title based on the cartoon.

You control Dexter, navigating a series of isometric puzzle rooms. Your main goal is to reach the exit in each level, but the twist is that you move like a chess piece. You might be a knight one moment, making L-shaped jumps over obstacles, or a rook sliding in straight lines to push blocks. The challenge comes from figuring out which piece you need to be and in what order to use your moves to clear a path. The puzzles start simple but quickly demand careful planning, as a single wrong move can trap you. It feels like a quiet, methodical test of your logic.
