Play Dexter's Laboratory - Robot Rampage Online

I picked up Dexter's Laboratory: Robot Rampage for the Game Boy Color back in 2001. It was developed by Vicarious Visions, a studio known for its solid handheld ports during that era. This was a time when licensed platformers were common, and this one fit right into the mix without making grand promises.

You control Dexter, running through his laboratory to stop a robot uprising. The main goal is to navigate from the entrance of each stage to the exit, fighting off robots and avoiding environmental hazards. You jump across platforms, use a shrink ray to defeat smaller enemies, and collect keycards to unlock doors. The levels are screen by screen, requiring you to clear enemies or solve simple puzzles to proceed. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty can spike unexpectedly in later stages. It feels like a straightforward, sometimes challenging scramble through a chaotic lab.
