Wouldn't it be cool if you be Finn the Human and have Jake morph into different shapes to help you solve puzzles? What if you could do it as a side-scrolling puzzler with retro graphics in the classic "A Boy And His Blob" style?
Well now you can!
" Oh no! The Ice King has captured all of the Princesses and placed them in cages which are scattered throughout all of Ooo! "
This game is based on a Nintendo classic made in 1989 A Boy And His Blob. Which is an adventure game by gaming innovator David Crane, where a boy feeds his living blob jellybeans to turn it into shapes and tools.
So you can see how perfectly this style of game fits in with Adventure Time, a cartoon about a boy and his canine companion who can change his body into almost any shape.
In the game you play as Finn, the dashing young hero with his famous white hat. Joining you in this adventure is Jake, a "dog" that can change into 15 different and unique forms to help Finn throughout his journey. Jake's forms include all of the classics such as a ladder, bridge, bubble, trampoline and many, many new ones too!
All of the original pixel art based on Pendleton Ward's work was created by Mike Gaboury.

We're very interested in feed on the video. We do realise it is very short but all of the other parts of the game world aren't complete or are (admittedly) a little buggy.

This game is adorable and the new screenshots and game-footage are so good i cant wait for it :)
Thank you SO much for the support guys.. it really makes a difference, especially as the game has gotten a surprisingly negative response on Steam Concepts.
