If the animal-hosting building decides to be kind and award you the creature, you'll still have to play through an endless runner-style minigame as Sid in order to actually rescue the animal.
It might take quite a few visits to get that item you're looking for, to the point that it delays progress in the game. This gets annoying when the building has an animal or item you need, because some of them have very low and unfair drop rates.
You can revisit buildings to try for better prizes, but they take anywhere from ten minutes to several hours to become active again. Simply tap a building and its roulette wheel will spin and then pop out the item. The berry costs get a lot higher as you reach new islands, limiting players' ability to zoom through the game.Įach island also hosts several buildings from which you can earn various prizes, including animals, berries, shells, items, and on rare occasions, acorns (premium currency). Getting rid of stuff consumes berries, which function as energy in Ice Age Adventures. Tap one of these objects and one of your three heroes will clear it out of the way (some take two taps), gaining shells (soft currency) as a reward. When you reach one of these places, you'll find a variety of obstacles to clear, including trees, rocks, ice, enemies, mushrooms, and more. Sid and team actually get to visit new locations via ship, adding an element of exploration that you seldom see in games of this type. The story doesn't go anywhere (of course), but kids will love the many conversations between characters.Īlthough the goal of saving lots of animals is the same as in Village, the way you go about doing so differs greatly here. There are way more discussions than you'd expect, too – Gameloft went all-out with the story in order to keep players motivated. Every little exchange between characters is fully voiced-acted by very good sound-alikes of the voice actors from the films. Now, I don't care for the Ice Age movies (and I have endured several), but Ice Age Adventures' storytelling is still impressive. Soon he will recruit Manny "Man, Ray Romano is annoying" Mammoth and Diego "Promise you don't date my daughter Gwen" Saber-toothed Tiger, and the three will work together to find more animals. Sid "Suffering Succotash" Sloth is charged with rescuing them. Something bad happens, and all the animals in the Ice Age entourage get separated.
Ice Age Adventures starts with nearly the same premise as the last game.
