I received a download code to try out the new game, AdvenChewers. Opinions of the app are 100% my own.
AdvenChewers follows the adventures of the Kid. His dad was kidnapped by a maniac with a penchant for creating evil flying machines. The kid must travel through multiple levels armed only with special chewing gum and the aid of some birds. Sounds a little silly, doesn’t it?
Well, at first I wasn’t quite sold on the game because I have an aversion to chewing gum. No, really I can’t stand the stuff. But, I gave the game a try and found it to be very fun and visually a home run. The animation is fantastic and detailed. The obstacles get more elaborate and difficult as you go along but some of those can be used to your advantage.
Gameplay is pretty simplistic but hard to master. You only need one finger to play, too. The character of the Kid keeps moving forward. You can tap the screen to make him jump or tap and hold to make him blow a bubble and soar into the air. Don’t hold the screen too long or that bubble will pop and you will fall out of the sky. Along the way you should save 3 birds per level. The birds act as extra lives if you fall off the screen and they count towards the goal of saving three birds a level. If you do that then you’ve fully completed the level. You can always go and replay a level to get a higher score, too.
As you progress through the game you can earn more powerful gum, some gum can freeze things, some can electrocute things and others can double or attract gold coins. You can also snag a phoenix feather on each level and a powerful phoenix comes to you and lets you ride on it. You blaze a trail through the sky and can destroy obstacles that would otherwise hurt you.
For $0.99 this is a decent buy with plenty of play time packed into it. Here is the official Press Release on the game and the game trailer.
