\"\"<\/a>Help a tooth fairy named Ginger, who also happens to be a rabbit for some reason, collect all the teeth in this basic 2D platformer.\u00a0 It\u2019s available on PlayStation consoles, Switch, and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

Ginger can run and jump, and stomp on enemies to defeat them. And that\u2019s it!\u00a0 You start out in a hub area and there are doors with numbers on them.\u00a0 When you have enough teeth, you can enter the doors with that number on them.\u00a0 Teeth are hidden throughout the maze like levels.\u00a0 Sometimes you might have to flip a switch to open a passage, and you can collect all sorts of other items, too.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure what they do, because the game doesn\u2019t tell you, but you can increase your health meter and the game said my attack increased at some point but I didn\u2019t notice any difference.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s really one of the big problems with the game is the lack of direction.\u00a0 I had no idea where to go or what I was supposed to be doing, I just followed my nose the whole time.\u00a0 Sometimes I would run across a tooth but couldn\u2019t collect it for some reason.\u00a0 Not sure what was going on there.\u00a0 Also, hit detection is a bit off.\u00a0 There were plenty of times that I would clearly stomp on an enemy and it would register as a hit.\u00a0 I would be willing to forgive these problems since I did like the 16-bit style visuals and simple gameplay.\u00a0 But at some points you have to cross long stretches of instant kill spikes and can only jump on a tiny enemy to get across.\u00a0 And since the hit detection was so bad, I would oftentimes land on the spikes and have to start that area over again.\u00a0 After a time or two of that, I had enough.<\/p>\n

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

Nothing too violent or objectionable here.\u00a0 When you stomp on enemies, they just disappear in a puff of smoke.\u00a0 When you get hit, you just say \u201cOh\u201d and when you lose all your energy or fall into spikes or water, you just fall off the screen.\u00a0 Reading skill isn\u2019t needed, but younger gamers may have trouble with some of the tougher jumps.\u00a0 Whne you pause the game you can get dental hygiene tips so I guess that’s good.\u00a0 Ginger the Tooth Fairy is rated E for Everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
