What’s It About?
Kids tilt the device to guide iconic characters from the Sonic games as they jump higher and higher toward a level in a limited period of time. Along the way, they'll collect power-ups and avoid obstacles to attempt to accelerate their climb and earn extra time. Tapping the screen lets the character jump higher, which can be valuable when he or she seems likely to miss a platform.
Is It Any Good?
SONIC JUMP FEVER might be fun for kids who loved Sonic Jump but who are older and looking for a new challenge. However, the efforts to get users to buy power-ups and other games is pretty aggressive: Actually playing takes the same amount of time as sorting through the possible purchases. It's also easy to click on entry points to Facebook, so if a parent is logged in on the same device, kids might find themselves accidentally exiting the game and entering a parent's account.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about when it's worth it to spend money on in-app purchases and when it's not.
Ask kids about strategy: With so much going on, how do you know where to look? As the game gets faster, how do you adjust?

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.
