Nick Jr. Party Adventure from Publisher Outright Games and Developer Melbot Studios

Solid kids game enjoyable for both kids and former kids that grew up with these Nick Jr characters.

Nick Jr. Party Adventure is an autorunner platformer full of Nick Jr characters. You play along with 25 familiar characters from six popular shows from Dora the Explorer, Blue’s Clues, PAW Patrol, Blaze and the Monster Machines, and a few others. 

Dora is having a Fiesta and needs your help to pick up guests and party favors. There are a total of 6 different worlds based on classic Nick Jr characters. While playing through the worlds, you will need to use springs to make your character jump and move platforms into different positions to keep your character moving. You will also have other guests/characters join your party to help you pick up the party favors and collectibles. 

There are a lot of character customizations that you unlock by playing levels and picking up the collectibles. These unlocked accessories are also based on the world of the Nick Jr character you are currently in (ie: Dora the explorer’s Hair Clip or shoes or Chase’s Pup Pack from Paw Patrol). Don’t worry if you miss one as all levels can be replayed once completed. 

The game was designed for a younger audience with bright colors and Nick Jr characters. The game has a great save system as it autosaves after every level making it easier to play for short time frames as well as for short attention spans. 

The platforming is really easy as you can’t really fail the levels. If you miss the platform your character will have a magic bubble form around them and move them back to a previous safe platform. This is also where the simple controls come into play. You will use a button or thumb stick to move the objects or bounce from the springs. Each time a new item for you to interact with is introduced you are provided with a simple tutorial letting you know what to do and how to do it. 

There were a few things that became repetitive. Once you collect the other 3 characters and have them in your party you will need to complete the level with each party member no matter if you picked up the levels collectibles or not. The catchphrase sound clips that the main character of the world says is the same every time you complete a level and becomes a little much. The in game music is different for each world and is based on music from their show. Unfortunately, it is a short clip on a loop and is the same for every level in that world.

We did run into a few issues that broke the level but restarting the level fixed the issues. We have also reported those issues to the publisher and they are forwarding the info to the Devs.

Overall even though we aren’t the target audience, we did enjoy the game for what it was.
