Dr. Muto is a 3D platform game starring a mad scientist looking for redemption after nearly destroying his world with experiments gone awry. To help repair and rebuild the world, Dr. Muto embarks on an adventure that finds him stealing DNA from nearby planets. This DNA can then be used to solve puzzles and overcome obstacles, allowing the well-meaning but clumsy doctor to transform into a variety of creatures. Changing into Muto-Gorilla, for example, lets the character swing through the air. Dr. Muto can alter his form at any time using an invention called the Splizz gun, and a secondary objective is to find blueprints needed to build up to 15 mechanical marvels to help save his world.
