The free games are all about “uncomplicated fun for two or more players”

A prerequisite, however, is that you enjoy playing 2D platformers and party games.
Free game: Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland
(Genre:2D platformer –Developer:The MIX Games –Release:September 10, 2024)
The game is based on the well-known animated series that ran on Nickelodeon from 1991 to 2004. Inspired by an advertisement for a video game, the series characters Tommy, Chuckie, Phil and Lil transform their home into the eponymous “Gameland.”
As one of the four children, you jump your way through various levels in the style of classic 2D platformers like Super Mario Bros. You will face various bosses based on characters from the series universe
You can either jump through the levels alone or get a partner by your side. The graphics also jump back and forth. The game can seamlessly switch between the series-style HD graphics and an 8-bit look.
