Cartoon Network have been putting out consistent titles lately, like the awesome but short The Great Prank War, the skill tree getting deeper as you keep playing brawler Best Park in the Universe -downside: all enemies do the same-, the easy but charming and unique puzzler Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake or the Mutant Fridge Mayhem, my favorite brawler on iOS, so after this curriculum, I had to pick Time Tangle: Adventure Time.
I am a huge endless runner fan, basically my 10 top games are mostly endless games: sideways, going up, down, match-3, arena fighters, and so on. So I was excited about Time Tangle, an endless behind the back runner featuring the Finn the Human from the Cartoon Network show Adventure Time, without any IAP. Even more after watching an interview with the developers saying that they drew a lot of inspiration from the awesome iOS unique -until Time Tangle arrived- runner Indiana Stone: The Brave and The Bold. One of my favorite iOS games. So my expectations were pretty high. At 12:01 I picked it up and started playing...
The first thing that caught my eye was the quality of the animations and the voice acting, its like the show. Then I looked around and found plenty of achievements, leaderboards and a lot of different things you meet in game to unlock. Its full of content. Characters, enemies, bosses, obstacles, power.ups, and many many more... awesome, I like how this is going so far. Next I tapped Play. After a short and nice tutorial I was ready for it. I knew how to punch, how to charge, how to jump and the controls for free roaming left and right were great. The game started. The speed of the game feels right and there is always something to keep you busy, you can punch enemies and the bigger one require combos, some timed multiple hits, its feel so right and its so much fun. Each time the game starts it randomly chooses between 4 types of missions and you have to, for example, collect fruit, chase bats or -what completely sky rocketed my interest in this game through the roof and to the moon- the way the game throws in special events and powerups. And those events are amazing, like the battle with the skeleton (or another one with a sword), where your character actually stops and fights the boss like the first or second God of War -maybe a little bit simpler, well, a lot simpler- where you evade his attacks and hit him back, and even has a finishing move. Solid. Fun. Awesome.
I kept going and the game just kept on giving, there is actually a full story mode that plays like a Campaign, with many different environments your you to run in, many different events, and a ton of things to discover and unlock. All with a coat of polish never seen before on this genre. Honestly, I can say that we are in front on the best endless runner ever existed. Its the game I always wanted. A game Thank you Cartoon Network for this. Fans of the genre get it now, the one who are tired of the genre also need to pick this up, and really, anybody who is interested should play it.
Also, another very worthy thing to mention is that the game is designed for the player to have fun, no micro transactions of any sort. Designed like the old golden days of gaming. Thanks for that <3
