What’s It About?
After choosing a plane and a scene at the start of PLANES ADVENTURES BY BUBL, kids guide the plane up and down along the flight path, avoiding obstacles, flying through rings, and collecting birds. As they play, kids can unlock additional planes. More than 30 planes are available, and kids choose scenes from a city, the forest, and space. Fantastical creatures join the planes throughout play, flying across the path. Skill level doesn't matter, really, as younger players can successfully fly and land without much effort, while older kids can interact and direct a little more, increasing the challenge of their experience.
Is It Any Good?
Fly through different landscapes, exploring the air and the chomping mystical creatures, but don't expect too much control. The bright colors and soothing soundtrack will appeal to kids' senses, and the flying adventures will excite the littlest players; kids who have played games with more control may be frustrated by the limited ability to fly the planes where you want to. Though there are 30 planes to choose from, with more unlocked as kids complete levels, the play is so similar throughout that kids may not stay engaged long enough to fly them all. Still, it's fascinating fun for a while.

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.
