The Tuttles Madcap Misadventures
When the Tuttles decide to take a family vacation to “The Alamo” they have no
idea the kind of misadventures they will get into. When they ride aboard their
flying mini-van they will have to avoid birds, helicopters, and even
lighthouses. Of course their mini-van seems to have a crash happy attitude and
frequently they will have to take on foot as each member of the family will
have to work together to pass strange lands. Their adventures will take them
across the desert, to jungles, up the sides of mountains and even underwater
as they try and make their way to their destination.
The Tuttles Madcap Misadventures is at times a platform game and at times a
side scrolling flying game. In certain parts of the game you will take control
of the mini-van and fly across gradually changing settings while avoiding the
aforementioned obstacles. When the game isn’t in flying mode you will take
control of one member of the Tuttle clan and explore lush settings trying to
collect various objects to pass each level. There are forty levels in total
and there are more unlocked when the game is finished. The platform levels are
fairly typical of the genre, you jump around and avoid enemies.
You can attack the enemies by stomping on most of them or hitting them with
your attack. Each member of the family has a different attack. The father
Barry swings his empty gas canister while the mom Barbara swings her purse.
The kids will have their own levels to explore as well and their attacks are a
thrown cell phone for the daughter Jess and a well placed kick for the son
Zach. The enemies will vary level by level depending on the situation and will
range from simple lizards walking around to jumping spiders, to spear throwing
natives, to breaching sharks. The underwater levels play much like the regular
platform levels but with an extended jump due to the ability of swimming a
small distance. In fact the underwater levels seem to borrow heavily in game
play and visual design from another Divo Games release Kenny’s Adventure. On
top of the required items to collect to pass each level there are also bonus
gems and objects to collect but only for points.
