\"\"<\/a>Your favorite Cartoon Network characters have gathered for a food festival, but food-based monsters have retaliated so you must team up to stop them in this match three puzzle battle game.\u00a0 It plays similarly to other games like Puzzle & Dragons, and is a free-to-play download on iOS and Android devices (reviewed on iPad here).\u00a0 You\u2019ll see characters and restaurants from your favorite new Cartoon Network shows, including Steven Universe, Adventure Time, We Bare Bears, and more!<\/p>\n

The puzzle aspect is similar to other match three puzzlers.\u00a0 Match certain colors and that team member will attack enemies on the top part of the screen.\u00a0 You can move pieces straight or diagonally, too.\u00a0 When you start a move, you\u2019ll have a limited time to keep chaining moves together for more matches, which can lead to better attacks.\u00a0 As long as you don\u2019t move anything at first, you can take as much time as you need to plan ahead, which is wise because the timer counter ends quick!\u00a0 Match enough of a color and you can activate that character\u2019s special move, too.\u00a0 After a certain number of turns, the enemy can attack you.\u00a0 They can whittle down your hit points and do other things like keep you from seeing pieces or moving them.\u00a0 You can match heart tiles to heal yourself, but if you run out of energy, you must start that battle over again.<\/p>\n

When you win battles, you\u2019ll earn coins and food that you can use to open restaurants.\u00a0 These establishments can then earn you coins and other upgrades for your characters so you can level up, recruit new toons, and continue the cycle.\u00a0 The game does a good job of explaining things further.\u00a0 The only main problem I had with the game is that it\u2019s not near as involving as Puzzle and Dragons was.\u00a0 You don\u2019t have much of a choice of who\u2019s on your team at first, for instance.\u00a0 I did like the pixel style graphics, though.\u00a0 So if you enjoy new Cartoon Network shows and match three battle games, you may want to check this one out.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can attack cartoony food-based monsters with lightning bolts, and defeated ones get encased in bubbles, but that\u2019s about as violent as it gets.\u00a0 Reading skill is needed for the text, and parental supervision is recommended for the in-game ads and purchases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
