Horrid Henry's Horrid Adventure

About

Horrid Henry's Horrid Adventure is a platformer that lets you run, jump, and swing through three wacky worlds inspired by the Horrid Henry books. Each level throws new obstacles and enemies your way, and you can switch between three weapons to blast or trap them. A standout mechanic lets you blow into the DS microphone to puff foes offscreen. The game splits action across both screens, letting you leap from one to the other during platforming sections. The dual-screen gameplay and microphone use set this apart from typical platformers. Each world has its own style, from the Evil Empire's dark themes to Pirate Island's swashbuckling chaos. Comic strip cutscenes tie the story together while moving you between zones. Released in 2010, it leans into the brand's chaotic humor with bizarre boss fights and collectible items that unlock progress. The three distinct weapons change how you tackle levels, adding replay value to the DS's single-player adventure.
