\"\"<\/a>Bungee Turtle is a pretty generic 2-D platformer for mobile devices (reviewed on iPad here).\u00a0 You can move left or right, double jump, throw rocks at enemies or hide in your shell.\u00a0 But the big gimmick in this game is that at certain points, you can jump onto a track that\u2019ll activate a bungee cord, and then you can move left and right and bob up and down on your line, collecting fruit and coins and avoiding enemies and obstacles.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll use the touch screen\u2019s virtual buttons to move left and right, jump, and fire rocks and hide in your shell.\u00a0 Hiding in your shell acts as a defensive maneuver and you\u2019ll take less damage.\u00a0 If you get hit, your shell will change color and if you get hit too many times, it\u2019ll break and you\u2019ll just stand there naked and must start the level over again.\u00a0 Scattered about the levels are tons of fruit and coins.\u00a0 Gather fruit for points and use the coins in the shop to buy new shells, which I think are purely for cosmetic purposes.<\/p>\n

Aside from just being rather generic, the other main problem with this game are the ads!\u00a0 There\u2019s an ad banner at all times at the bottom of the screen, and you have to view an ad after every level.\u00a0 Most of the time, it\u2019ll even take you to the app store and you have to close that out to keep playing!\u00a0 At the beginning of the game, you even choose whether you want relevant ads, non-relevant, or ads for kids under 12!\u00a0 Now, I don\u2019t play THAT many mobile games, but I\u2019ve reviewed enough to know this is the most ads I\u2019ve had to view in a game.\u00a0 I think this game is more ad than game!\u00a0 You can purchase the game and not have ads, but it doesn\u2019t stand out enough to warrant a purchase, I think.<\/p>\n

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

You can throw rocks out of your mouth at enemies, and when they get hit, they just fly away.\u00a0 When you get hit, your shell changes color and can break off, and you just stand there naked.\u00a0 So violence is fairly minimal.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for some of the text, and parental supervision is highly recommended for the in-game purchases and all the ads!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
