Description

The Energy Thieves is an action game for children five years and up starring the Adiboo character. There are fourteen levels with different types of gameplay as Adiboo needs to stop a robot from taking away all of the planet's resources such as lava, rocks, wood and water. Levels include 2D side-scrolling platforming sections and races using both a frontal and a behind view. There is also a central hub world where Adiboo can be moved around freely to explore and further the story. There is a two-player multiplayer mode as well as time trial challenges. The difficulty level adapts dynamically based on the player's performance.
