Outright Games are guilty of many-a-sin in the gaming industry - chiefly, spatting out annoying, bottom-of-the-barrel, barely functioning iPod touch apps at unprecedented pace and calling them current-gen videos games at FULL PRICE (for way longer than they have any right to be, no less). Charging anything over $1.99 for this should be a punishable offense, let alone 40-50 fucking dollars. If you thought the chintzy licensed game craze of the 2000s was dead then it's not, it's right here and it's so much worse. I'm not one of those grown adults who love to shit on every popular kid's IP because it was funny to do on YouTube back in 2013 or some shit, but this company's games are actually some of the most abominable things I've ever played. That being said, this is easily among their 'better' outings - it's sometimes cute, sometimes funny, and sometimes a little creepy. The crayon-drawn aesthetic of the show makes for a sufficient mask to OG's overt cheapness here, so this actually ends up looking really nice and vibrant. But again... this wouldn't even cut it in 2011 on the App Store - even if all these voices weren't blatantly out-of-sync it still wouldn't have enough polish. Kids deserve to play good games, too.
