What’s It About?
Kids tap and hold top, bottom, right, or left of the screen to advance the stick person, and swipe to jump up or down stairs or over gaps. Kids collect coins, the red key, and then finish at the red door. In the process, they have to slide tiles to match up corridors, sometimes waiting in dead ends to get to the final goal. Look out for those spikey walls and ceilings, not to mention a few bottomless paths here and there.
Is It Any Good?
The sequel to an award-winning student-made iPad game, CONTINUITY 2: THE CONTINUATION combines tile puzzles with simple door-and-key mazes and platformer-style running and jumping. Players control a stick man using intuitive swipes and taps to make him move through the maze and climb stairs, making sure to search out a key to unlock the exit door and grab collectible coins along the way. However, each level is composed of tiles that, when zoomed out, can be shuffled around to create new ways through the maze. It's a satisfyingly clever concept that’s easy to grasp but leads to some devilishly challenging navigational conundrums. Great fun for adults and kids alike, though both will need to show patience and perseverance to achieve success.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
