What’s It About?
In classic Adventure Time fashion, Finn sees a time portal and figures there's "probably a lot of dangerous, awesome stuff through this portal," so he goes in. He's met with a quest -- to either rescue a friend, chase an enemy, collect something, or deliver something. He fights his way through as the runner, punching, jumping, and collecting coins. At the end of his quests, he fights the boss. Cut scenes explain each character and item, and more of each are unlocked as kids play. Jake, Lady Rainicorn, and other friends come along to help out occasionally, too, adding to the fun.
Is It Any Good?
If they like the silly fun of the show, kids should definitely enjoy TIME TANGLE - ADVENTURE TIME. The character voices and personalities are very true to the show (this one's voiced by all the original actors), and the quests are very playable at the early levels and quite challenging at the later ones. The fun varies, too, between the different types of quests, so kids are drawn in to the stories -- rescuing friends, chasing the bad guys, or collecting food or necessities. Parents will appreciate that it includes no in-app purchases, which is really refreshing for an endless-runner adventure game. Kids unlock new characters through play, with no pressure to buy.

When Finn rescues his friends in the game, he says, "I'll explain later," and grabs them and runs. What do you think his friends are thinking?

Did we miss something on diversity?
