Death Jr. and the Science Fair of Doom is the next installment of the Death, Jr. series of morbid humor adventure games. This is the first Death Jr. game for the DS--the prior games were made for the PSP. Death Jr. and his friend Pandora are working on their science fair project when they spawn Moloch, an evil bunny creature. As if this wasn’t bad enough, Pandora gets killed. Death Jr. has to clean up this mess before daddy Death finds out.
The player controls both Death Jr. and Pandora, who is now a ghost, with Death Jr. fixing problems in the world of the living and Pandora manipulating things from the world of the dead, such as switches to activate doors and platforms. The gameplay is split with the living world focusing on combat and the dead world focusing on puzzles. Combat in the game is based on a “confidence” system. By beating baddies and avoiding attacks, Death Jr.’s confidence will build up which allows him to deal more damage.
The game features two minigames that can be played in multiplayer.
