sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>The Amazing World of Gumball is one of Cartoon Network\u2019s most popular shows right now.\u00a0 It\u2019s about a cat named Gumball who goes to middle school and lives with his blended family of cats and rabbits and his best friend\/brother goldfish.\u00a0 I\u2019ve never been a big fan of the show, but I do like the mixed media art style.\u00a0 Now you can play as Gumball in Wrecker\u2019s Revenge, a free-to-play downloadable game on iOS and Android (reviewed on iPad here).<\/p>\n<p>For some reason, Gumball is trapped in a void full of floating islands, and he must jump from one to another to save one of his friends in each level.\u00a0 The game never really explains why he\u2019s doing this, maybe you have to watch the show to understand.\u00a0 To make Gumball jump, you must tap and hold on him and drag to where you want him to go.\u00a0 Release and he\u2019ll jump to the next island if there is one.\u00a0 If not, he\u2019ll be stuck floating in the void and it\u2019ll be Game Over.\u00a0 You can also tap and drag on some islands to move and rotate them.\u00a0 The level ends when you find one of your friends in the stage.<\/p>\n<p>Scattered about the levels are cash bills you can collect.\u00a0 If you can find a shop on one of the islands, you can spend your money on power-ups like a gummi hand that lets you stick to far away islands, a magnet for attracting nearby cash, and hairspray which lets you jump a second time in midair.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the game is not that good.\u00a0 When you lose, you must view an ad if you want to start from a checkpoint, and that gets really annoying after a short while.\u00a0 Your view of the level is limited and the filtered graphics make it hard to see where you can land.\u00a0 Plus the game is just not that much fun overall.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/gumball_screen\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone
