The Adventure Pals
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.

A quirky, nonsense, weird game about a giraffe that fits into a backpack, talking animals, living toast, and other weird stuff. Im pretty sure the developers of this game took some liberties on this game from the adventure time cartoon..even maybe the misadventures of flapjack. The game has alot of cartoonish stuff in it, but at it's source it is quite a fun platformer with collecting mechanics. There are also rpg elements with leveling up to get more powerful moves and things. Anyways, here is my pro/con list:
PROS:
- Funny silly game with cartoonish characters and silly things. Great for young children to enjoy. Still, older people can still play it too.
- There are arena's around the map to test out your character in 5 rounds in each of them with nonstop enemies.
- Collectibles!
- Platforming, but not super hard. There are some puzzle mechanics, but there not difficult to figure out.
- Good controller support.
CONS:
- I had controller joystick drifting on this game, which i don't usually have on other games. This could be my own controller though that is causing this.
- To me, i found the story too short. I played it completely in 9 hours. I could probably do it even less than that, but i hunted for items and enjoyed myself playing it.
All in all, i found the game very entertaining, even if it was a tad short for me. I found this game would be great with young children, and the cartoonish graphics and silly characters make it fun to play. I recommend it to young and old video game players...just if your older, expect some flagulance and a sticker of a butt.

I can't recommend this game enough! Quirky and cute, fun story and a great adventure for any age. Co-op with someone who may not be used to playing games. Absolute riot funny!

I usually get very frustrated when playing platformers because I suck , but that's not the case with The Adventure Pals. The game is aimed at a more casual or younger audience which suits me perfectly. There's even local (not online) co-op making it a perfect game to play with younger siblings or your kids.
The "humorous" dialog which the devs keep boosting about is a bit childish in my opinion. Maybe they could get a chuckle out of someone who's a bit younger.
Other than that, The Adventure Pals offers a large variety of enemies and collectables, fluid animations and eye-catching visuals. Definitely recommended if you can get it on a sale or got it from a Humble Monthly Bundle.

What an amazing game. Best platformer I played in a long time. Super cute characters, addictive gameplay with relaxing difficulty, so no stress here. Hidden gem for sure. Looks and runs great...there isnt much more to say, go buy it and have a blast ... if you like platformers this game is a no brainer, even at full price.

Super simple, forgiving, lighthearted and cute platformer. So grab your younger kin or friend and enjoy.

Cute little easy platformer with sticker and cupcakes to collect. The graphics are not breathtaking but functional. The humour is weird but works for me but fair warning, you might not look at hot dogs the same way as before ;)
Do I recommend it on full price? Considering that clearly effort and love went into this game, I think it might be worth it.

A fantastic little hidden gem!
I love action platformers, and this game has some excellent level design. Add in the combat, level up system, bonus abilities for mr. rock (one of your companions for combat), great music and dialogue, funny moments and you have one hell of a highly polished game. Even the world map is fun! You can wander around there freely and beat the crap out of stuff just for kicks if you want.
I completed the campaign plus got all the cupcakes, (these are optional and there's 1 per level. When you get 5 you can create another ability for Mr rock), and about to get all the stickers, (optional doesn't do anything except for achievement related for 100% completion) in just over 9 hrs.
I can't praise this game enough. Highly polished action platformers with some light rpg elements with a fun story. Highly recommended!!!
