From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ed, Edd n Eddy: Jawbreakers is a video game released on March 30, 2003 by Bam Entertainment, based on the popular television cartoon Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy for the Game Boy Advance. Developed by Crawfish Interactive and The Climax Group, it received an ESRB rating of "E — Everyone." The game mirrors Ed, Edd and Eddy's television quest to make money to buy jawbreakers.
[edit] Gameplay
The object of the game is to help these resourceful preadolescents win a contest whose grand prize is a lifetime supply of jawbreakers. Throughout the game, Ed, Edd and Eddy will tap into their unique brand of resourcefulness as they earn money, solve physical puzzles, interact with their pals from the cul-de-sac and find hidden goodies. The players will control one Ed at a time, each with his own unique strength and weakness, and may dynamically cycle through the three main characters. Players will explore 12 levels, each offering a short animated cut-scene at the beginning and end. The Eds are the playable characters, each with their own skills and abilities. Ed can headbutt things, Edd (Double-D) can use a slingshot, a wrench and use switches that do different things. Eddy can use the hypnotizing wheel or the jetpack.
[edit] Reception
The game was not received well among the critics who reviewed it. The game, as IGN states, has no tutorial and thrusts the player into the action horribly. Other complaints include no inidication of how long or short a level is, coupled with the time-limit on each level. IGN also says that the timing for the game was bad, as the game's blueprints are based on The Lost Vikings, which was shipped as a Game Boy Advance conversion only a week earlier before Jawbreakers!'s release.[citation needed]
