PartyToons

PartyToons packs its chaos into short rounds rather than one long match. Each mini-game changes the rules completely - one has you catching strawberries while rocks fall around you, the next puts you on a conveyor belt full of obstacles, another dares you to pop balloons that might pop back. Nothing repeats long enough to get comfortable, which is exactly the point in a four-player match.

Because everyone shares one screen, the real competition is reading what the other three are doing as much as playing your own game well. Points and trophies carry over between rounds and go toward unlocking new characters, so a rough round is never wasted, only a setback on the way to the next one.

How to play

Jump into a mini-game party with up to three other players on one screen. Each round drops you into a different game with its own rules, so watch the brief setup before it starts rather than guessing. Act faster or smarter than the other players to bank the most points, then spend points and trophies on new characters between matches.
