    A shallow boring experience that doesn't live up to the high standards set by the series. The game has many characters and locations from the series that although at first exciting had little actual meaning in the game aside from repetitive fetch quests. The mechanics are repetitive and inelegant involving button bashing in order to win and grinding for items in random battles on the sameA shallow boring experience that doesn't live up to the high standards set by the series.

If you want the proper adventure time experience go watch the series as the game offers nothing new and actually hinders the adventure time experience.… Expand

    The title should be "hey developers! Why did you make this garbage!?!" It's not surprising that a TV/movie license video game would be TERRIBLE. This game is nothing but a VERY SHORT side scroller platforming game. sad thing is there iOS games are much better. The graphics are terrible, The story makes no sense, and the destination travel sequence is annoying. Uber of get the iOS gamesThe title should be "hey developers! Why did you make this garbage!?!"

Good thing good about this game is Marceline the vampire Queen's battle theme kind a wish there was an extended version of her theme with more lyrics on iTunes and not that small Loop of music.… Expand

    Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage? is not really the typical lazy tie-in created as an easy cash cow: here and there you can see some intriguing ideas and cool stuff "à la Adventure Time", yet the inconsistency of the gameplay and the lack of fun seriously compromise the overall experience. Wouldn't it be time for a truly mathematical videogame?

    Less fun to play than it is to watch. [Apr 2014, p.91]

    There’s no obvious explanation about why the original game is released in Europe after its sequel. Calendar mysteries notwithstanding, Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d You Steal Our Garbage?! is a fun, entertaining and colourful experience, keeping the game close to its animated origins. Its short longevity and repetitiveness may disappoint more demanding players, though.
