Phineas and Ferb: New Inventions is an educational game aimed at Preschoolers. It was released as a PC ROM, and is also currently available on Steam. It was only released in Russian, Czech, and Polish, but an English translation was seemingly scrapped early in development judging by the game’s files. However, a fan-translation to English is available.
Plot[]
Phineas and Ferb create a Roller Coaster with the player's help. Agent P attempts to stop Doofenshmirtz.
Gameplay[]
The game consists of three chapters. Each chapter has an educational lesson ("theory"), a 10-question quiz ("practice"), a minigame, and a secret mission. The practices and minigames unlock parts required for the secret missions.
| Chapter | Lesson | Quiz | Minigame | Mission |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chapter 1 | Ferb teaches Phineas about length and volume. | Ferb asks questions about length and volume. | The player arranges variously-shaped blocks on a series of three carts. | Perry navigates a hovercar around lasers, using invisibility powerups and identification zones. |
| Chapter 2 | Linda teaches Candace about weight and temperature. | Ferb asks questions about weight and temperature. | Candace needs the player's help to select the cart that will reach the checkout the fastest based on the weight and temperatures of the items it will add. | Perry escapes Doof's robotic arms with the help of the player as they search for the required items. |
| Chapter 3 | Ferb and Phineas teach about addition and subtraction. | Ferb asks addition and subtraction questions. | The player steers the rollercoaster to the end of five tracks, doing simple arithmetic problems before each. | Perry navigates a helicopter with a giant magnet, avoiding picking up too much metal with powerups, lasers, and grenades. |
Continuity[]
The game seems to take place during the events of "Rollercoaster". Various events from the episode are mentioned in the game, such as:
- The rollercoaster poster is posted in the grocery store, seen by Candace, and subsequently removed by two boys hoping to get a discount before Linda can see it.
- Perry takes his hovercar through tight passages.
- Perry is trapped by Doofenshmirtz’s mechanical arms and tried launching a screw with his tail to free himself.
- A helicopter gets attached to Doof's giant magnet and picks up the rollercoaster.
Additionally, clips from the episode are used as narrative content in the game.
Errors[]
- Ferb, rather than being near-mute, has the most lines in the game, due to him taking an equal role in the lessons and asking all of the questions.
- Linda claims Candace learned the concept of weight in school just last year, despite her being (presumably) 14 at the time, well above the age where she would have learned the concept of weight.
