The Fidgetts is an action-packed side-scrolling platformer that challenges players to navigate through increasingly complex levels. The game's unique mechanic allows two playable characters, the Fidgetts, to switch between them on the fly, each with their own distinct abilities. One Fidgett can jump higher and reach objects out of reach, while the other can lift and drop items to create pathways to the exit.
With time limits looming over each level, players must carefully coordinate the movements of both Fidgetts to overcome obstacles like pit traps and hostile enemies. Collecting power-ups in the Breakout-style mini-game that appears between levels can also give players an extra edge in their quest for success.
