This imaginatively titled game has brought its peculiar humour to European 3DS players and the handheld console. Based on the Emmy-nominated Adventure Time TV series on the Cartoon Network, the story revolves around – as you might guess – some stolen rubbish. The main characters, Finn and Jake, wake up to find their bins have been pilfered by the Ice King, who plans to construct some sort of princess from the pile of half-eaten bananas and discarded papers. Apparently this is a step too far, so the pair set off through the Land of Ooo to deliver a bit of a smack down to the wayward king. This switches between a 2D side scroller and overhead style, depending on what you're doing at the time. It brings you through dungeons and encounters with enemies, and builds your powers as you go. A charming adventure.
