Cartoon Network’s new mobile game, The Powerpuff Girls: Monkey Mania is what happens when Angry Birds meets Robot Unicorn Attack in the Powerpuff universe. This crash ‘n’ bash Powerpuff title was released on September 4th this year, and is proving just as addictively amusing as these past hits.

The formula is pretty simple: Aim and launch at the Opponent and get propelled at a running stream of Mojo minions which you must hit to maintain greater speed, getting you a further distance to beat your record. This earns bigger and better rewards to repeat the process again and again. Other features include beating up a stuffed panda bear for premium rewards, and either avoiding or overtaking various Troublemakers for bonus boosts throughout the rounds.

A Pinch of Angry Birds

Launching from a slingshot to damage and eventually K.O. an Opponent starts the game off in a fashion reminiscent to Angry Birds, though the girls are slingshotted through the same course instead of various levels. More Opponents are unlocked as you defeat the previous one, and you may accrue boosts and bonuses after each round. This builds options as the game progresses much like how the battalion of Angry Birds grows and switches out. Brick walls act as level markers, taking several rounds to bust through. However, it is horribly amusing to watch the girls batter through them, usually getting wedged inside as many an Angry Bird has within their own obstacles.

A Dash of Robot Unicorn

A simple foundation, the game escalates quickly as the girls rake in the coins to buy more boosts which enable them to make it further in the next round. Sounds a lot like a familiar mythical Robot who liked to jump and dash across large crags to run as far as it could. Though the Powerpuff Girls aren’t jumping from floating rock to floating rock, the superhero trio and the Robot Unicorn share a common goal: earning more boosts to make it a further distance. Also akin to the Robot’s dashes, the Powerpuff Girls only get a limited number of Power Bashes until they must replenish them by gaining distance. After launching one of the girls, the one control is to Power Bash downwards on top of the minions – Troublemakers too – rather than the bare ground, which hurts velocity significantly.

And Everything Nice

As with any Powerpuff recipe, it calls for loads of goodness which the rest of the features are packed full of. After earning enough money, a selection of boosts and features become available. These are known as Upgrades, Troublemakers, and Opponents. These boosts and unlockable characters make for easier advancement, furthering game progress, or shaking up the rounds a bit.

Upgrades offer a wide range of boosts. Some enhance existing stats like speed or Power Bashes. Others make new advancements entirely, such as elbow pads to break falls, and simple good luck, causing good things to happen more often. All Upgrades are also further upgradeable for even bigger boosts.

Troublemakers consist of a selection of bad guys from the Powerpuff Girls series. The girls will adopt the Troublemaker’s boost if they crash into them. Usually, they are riding something, so overtaking the Troublemaker will commandeer their vehicle, making for a huge distance boost a lot of the time. Be aware, bashing into certain Troublemakers, or hitting some in the wrong place can have adverse effects.

The selection of Opponents is made up of more notable bad guys from the TV series. Each round starts with aiming and launching at the selected Opponent, causing a percentage of damage each time. The girls incrementally work the Opponent’s health down over several rounds, culminating in a K.O. and unlocking the next Opponent. A better hit on the Opponent awards a better launch. Critical hits make for the best launch boost and clear previous distance records in a breeze.

Beat Up Allegro

Allegro is a fun sort of mini-game feature. Beat up the stuffed panda to earn rewards. These usually consist of coins, discounts on Upgrades, Troublemakers, or Opponents, pickles (premium currency), or Monsieur Ducky who will provide the girls with an extra boost when needed most.

Unfortunately, Allegro holds the only real downside to the game, which is having to watch a video in order to beat him up. Luckily, however, a free Allegro every three hours is soon unlocked. He upgrades automatically as well, awarding bigger and better stuff when he does.

Pickles are the “bestest” currency ever to a super-powered little girl, apparently. These vinegary delights buy premium boosts and abilities from the in-game Goodies shop.

After so many rounds, Missions are unlocked, awarding premium rewards along with energy for filling up Time Cells, presumably (Time Cells become a feature in the later game). These quests usually have requirements, like completing two critical hits in a row or squashing X amount of enemies.

The “Most Funnest” Game In Townsville

With so many Mojo minions to bash, Opponents to knockout, and Goodies to be had, the Powerpuff Girls would most definitely approve of where their new game falls on the fun-o-meter. The Powerpuff Girls: Monkey Mania escalates quickly and gives a good sense of constant progress, which is a good M.O. for any free-to-play mobile game hoping to achieve success.

The Powerpuff Girls: Monkey Mania is available now for Android devices and is free-to-play.
