Once sidescrolling, Finn's abilities are limited to forward slashes with Scarlet, his Golden Sword of Battle, whereas Jake (occupying Finn's backpack, Banjo Kazooie-style) accrues various shape-shifting abilities as the game progresses. You traverse the Land of Ooo via a Zelda-esque top-down Overworld and are thrown into a sidescrolling environment once a location of interest is entered, be it a Tree Dungeon or Princess Bubblegum's castle. Innocuous, sure, but as Ice King's plans generally lead to the greater annoyance of several kingdoms, Finn and Jake set out to stop him. %Gallery-168686%Rather than recounting past events from the show, Hey Ice King sends heroes Finn the Human and Jake the Dog on a new adventure, in which Ice King has stolen piles of garbage from various locations around The Land of Ooo. Hey Ice King isn't going to win any awards for innovative design, but the soul of the show is present in gratuitous quantities.
I want there to be a game for my favorite cartoon, of course, but "portable game based on a Cartoon Network property" isn't usually a phrase that inspires confidence. So, when I first heard about WayForward's Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?! for the DS and 3DS, my initial reaction was one of both joy and concern. Needless to say, I love Adventure Time dearly. Other programs like Regular Show may be roughly as funny, but Adventure Time's contemporaries often lack its poignant subtext and stellar character development. Its adorable characters, hilarious dialogue and surprisingly complex and storied mythology set it apart from the vast majority of "children's" entertainment out there. Adventure Time is one of the very best things on television.
