Review:

Bunny Adventure is a family-friendly Puzzle game released on Nintendo Switch in 2020, and while it seems like exactly the sort of game that would be a mobile port, I can’t seem to find any indication that this game was released on other platforms. The premise behind this game is that the screen is filled with square-shaped islands that players must move around to form a path from a bunny to an exit.

The presentation here is pretty simple, but works well enough for the game, using simple, colorful 2D visuals that have a nice little bit of detail to them (such as water reflections and lilypads that indicate where tiles started out), and even some personality – the bunny itself is largely cube-shaped, playing on the idea of the player moving cubes around. Add to this energetic (and slightly annoying) music and generic chomping noises when your bunny eats a carrot, and that’s about it.

Players of the game are offered two game modes – Yummy Mode and Classic Mode, the latter only being unlocked after the player has completed a few dozen levels in Yummy Mode. In Yummy Mode, players have an unlimited number of moves, and are trying to move the islands so that the bunny crosses specific places on his path to the exit – specifically, the islands where three carrots are located. Classic Mode removes the carrots, and players must simply create the path to the exit in as few moves as possible.

Between the two modes, all but the youngest of players will tire of Yummy Mode pretty quickly, as it’s a carrot cakewalk. It’s nice that this mode was included for young children, who can enjoy its lack of any sort of fail state, but it’s frustrating that all players are forced to play through it a bunch before unlocking the Classic Mode. As for the Classic Mode, this is a decent but unspectacular Puzzle game that’s pretty similar to stuff we’ve seen countless times before.

One other thing I should note before wrapping things up here. Despite that this game seems ideal for use with a touchscreen, and despite that the game’s brief tutorial even seems to indicate touching the screen, this game has no touchscreen support. It’s fine, the game plays well enough moving a cursor around with the directional buttons, but it’s an odd omission regardless.

In the end, Bunny Adventure is a decent but unspectacular Puzzle Game. It has a nice aesthetic, and the Yummy Mode seems ideal for young kids, but forcing older players to play through that super-easy mode to unlock the Classic Mode seems like a poor choice. Unless you have young kids, you may not find this one holding your attention for very long.

tl;dr – Bunny Adventure is a family-friendly Puzzle Game that has you moving islands to form a path for a bunny to reach an exit. It’s a decent game for young kids, but older players will quickly find themselves wanting for something more substantial.
