Cartoon Network Arcade launches on Android and iOS today
Published , by Brittany Vincent
Cartoon Network has launched a new all-in-one destination for mobile gamers to check out on the go called Cartoon Network Arcade.
The collection of new mobile games makes Cartoon Network Arcade the largest library of pick-up-and-play games ever, at least those based on titles from the Cartoon Network universe. That means games based on Adventure Time, The Amazing World of Gumball, Apple and Onion, Steven Universe, and more.
There's another cool part of the apps for kids and families, too. While you're hanging out on the couch watching your favorite Cartoon Network shows, you can hit the "Collect" button on the app and gab collectible characters in-game for free. The app will recognize that a certain episode is airing, and assign a cool collectible accordingly. You can snag characters from Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Teen Titans Go!, and several others.
Here's a full list of what's currently on offer:
The Amazing World of Gumball – Gumball's Block Party: Climb as high as you can to stay ahead of the collapsing blocks. Collect and play as five Gumball characters.
Apple and Onion – Bottle Catch: Toss bottles back and forth between Apple and Onion to build up speed, then launch them into the air to collect coins.
Adventure Time – Rainicorn's Flying Colors: Match rows of cards to clear the board. Unlock 32 unique Adventure Time characters.
Ben 10 – Brains vs Bugs: Run, jump and climb as Grey Matter races after the Bugg Brothers.
Craig of the Creek – Camp Cardboard: Tap to accumulate resources and help Craig build the best cardboard fort ever.
OK K.O.! Let’s Play Heroes – Go KO!: Run and dodge with K.O. through an endless stream of Jethros, then turn into T.K.O. to bust up some robots.
The Powerpuff Girls – Rainbow Wreckers: Help the Powerpuff Girls blast through Allegro's rainbows in this quick-reflex color-matching game.
Steven Universe – Shattered Dreams: Jump and slide your way through Steven's worst nightmares in this fast-paced endless runner.
Summer Camp Island – Contagious Cuteness: Start a magical chain reaction. How long can you keep the cuteness going?
Teen Titans Go! – Smashy Piñata: It's Beast Boy's birthday! Keep hitting the pinata in the air to see how much candy you can get.
Teen Titans Go! – Teen Titans GOAL!: Tap to kick the ball, score goals, and defeat the soccer trolls. Rack up coins to unlock all five Titans!
We Bare Bears – Stack Tracks: Keep the bear stack on the right track by rotating tiles in the path and using power-ups from their friends.
There will be new games and collectible figures added to the game in the coming months, with special events tied into games and shows that players can grab for their collection, and lots of other updates coming down the line.
If you're someone who watches a lot of Cartoon Network, you'll undoubtedly get a lot of use out of this app – or at the very least, your kids definitely will.
