Dexter’s Lab: Deesaster Strikes! nails that chaotic cartoon energy—you’re basically running damage control while Dee Dee wrecks Dexter’s experiments. One minute you’re platforming through his lab dodging rogue robots, the next you’re solving puzzles to reassemble some half-baked invention before everything explodes. The pixel art’s surprisingly sharp for a GBA game, and the music’s got that same bouncy, synth-heavy vibe as the show.

It’s not just mindless running either—you actually use Dexter’s gadgets, like a shrink ray to sneak through vents or a gravity switcher to flip rooms upside down. And yeah, Dee Dee’s as much of a menace here as she is in the show. If you grew up watching Dexter, this feels like playing through a lost episode.
