Our take on Adventures of Chris
Rather than using a fixed sequence of stages, the game lets players visit 9 locations in any order. Its hero also gains balloon-based movement and customizable abilities, while comic villains and deliberately unusual difficulty settings replace a conventional serious adventure tone.
What is Adventures of Chris?
Adventures of Chris is a platforming adventure styled after the 1990s, following a child turned into a balloon by animated villains.
The journey spans nine worldwide areas that can be tackled in whichever sequence players choose, as well as the Kingdom of Lost Balloons and additional zones. Chris learns moves, powers, magic, and techniques that can be tailored to preferred play styles. Foes include samurai cats, cyborg penguins, and vampires. Stages feature airborne and downward-moving platform challenges, hidden discoveries, and unlockable material that develops the narrative. Players can select from multiple difficulty options, including the tougher comedic Mean Mode and a mode featuring commentary from the developers.
