The Adventure Pals is an action-packed platformer about friendship, exploration, and riding your giraffe. And, of course, the age-old tale of an evil madman with the nefarious plan of turning old people into delicious hot dogs.
Mr. B is kidnapping old people and turning them into hot dogs! It’s up to you and your best buds, Mr. Rock and Sparkles the Giraffe, to save the day. Leap, slash, and blast your way through increasingly madcap levels. Along the way you’ll help a whale regain confidence, take a side in the battle between toast and dinosaurs, and travel to a legendary sunken city to decide the result of a Pirate election.

If you're looking for a game for your young kiddos, this is a great pick. My 6 year old had a blast, and was able to beat this game entirely on his own. I often seek out games like this for young ones, and this is a BIG winner. Incredible amount of imagination went into this game and it's just wonderful.

Yes.
Feel like I should be having more fun with this than I am.
I absolutely love the humour, the art style and the general feel of the game. However I think the problem is that the levels just keep going on way longer than they should. I guess I'm a bit too old for this one and they're just too easy. I can see myself enjoying playing this with my son when he's a little bit older.
I would have put a bit more emphasis on fleshing out the combat mechanics rather than having quite so many platforming sections.
In the end I stopped playing. But I think this does do exactly what it says on the tin and therefore is an easy recommend for anyone thinking of picking it up. I got it on a deep discount and it was absolutely well worth the money.

Great game. The music and visuals are phenomenal and the game feels great, if your using a controller that is. The combat is simple but it doesn't need to be too complex. The stages are fun but they drag on for a little too long. The art style is one of the best parts of the game. I do have to say, some of the collectibles are too easy to get, and some are easier to get than actually beating that part of the level. Also, the game is way too easy up until world 4, where there is a noticeable difficulty spike. Other than that, this game is great.

"This is just a kids game!" I'd say, but here I am playing 10+ hours on The Adventure Pals and enjoying it.
This game is seriously more entertaining than I had expected. You start off with a tutorial by the MC's dad, only for him to be abducted by an enemy riding a bee. Huh.
In the later game, you encounter newer enemies, more platform features like a hook-shot that shoots you towards a direction when you grab it, toaster jumps, as well as more obstacles like the moving spikes. The game provides a nice and forgiving progression in difficulty, so you're never caught off guard the second time you have to re-spawn, or start over on the level.
The artwork looks cartoonish and very childish, but it's cute and very PG friendly. The animations are so smooth and fluid, with no lag nor FPS drops. There's also a sticky climb mechanics of the MC, so you're always auto-climbing edges incase you don't make it, as well as wall-gripping every time you make contact with the walls.
I absolutely love the flexibility of level selection and progress indicator on each of the stages on the map. If you miss a cupcake, sticker pack, or even collection quest items you can always go back to the specific level, and only need to complete that level again before returning to the world map. You can even just buy the sticker packs from the shops, as they're only used for cosmetic purposes.
I love The Adventure Pals, and would endorse it to anyone looking for a fun, adventure platformer game to play. It's honestly one of my favourite platformers on Steam.

Quite a fun little platformer with some humour sprinkled about. If you enjoy vibrant colours and decent movement then this game is a great pickup. It's nothing extreme and the combat is real basic but lightheartedly as a time killer for a few hours its pretty good. Would recommend for some unserious gaming

The game presents an enchanting first impression in all departments, though its charm becomes less compelling with extended play. While the visuals draw inspiration from beloved series like Adventure Time, the aesthetic feels disconnected from the game's core elements rather than serving the overall experience.
The writing starts with promise, offering quirky encounters and humorous moments. However, the humor tends to rely on simple subversions (like a whale wanting to wear a thong) without building toward deeper comedic or narrative payoffs. The story, while whimsical, doesn't quite develop its initial potential. It suffers from a peculiar form of self-awareness that ultimately undermines itself. While it attempts to satirize gaming tropes, with villains announcing their absurd hot dog-transformation schemes and characters lampshading plot conveniences with fourth-wall-breaking comments, it never transcends these same clichés. Instead, the game seems content to simply point at its narrative shortcuts like a child pointing at their own mess and expecting applause. This meta-commentary feels less like clever subversion and more like an excuse to avoid deeper storytelling.
The platforming mechanics are well-implemented and smooth (try to guess what comes next) presenting a dazzling first impression. The game introduces various "buddies" that suggest exciting gameplay possibilities, but you already know where this is going. Like everything else, these additions feel more like variations on existing mechanics rather than meaningful evolutions of the core gameplay. While competently designed, the gameplay shows exactly the same depth as everything else.
For players looking for a light, visually pleasant platforming experience, there's certainly enjoyment to be found here, specially considering it often goes on 80% discount sales. I will definitely keep this one in mind for when my son is a little older! However, take this recommendation with an 80% discount - those expecting more will find this highly polished surface is all there is to it.
