Woodle Tree Adventures is a cute little platformer about a tree trunk trying to grab fairy tears to save the forest. ya I know it doesn't make a ton of sense, and there isn't any voice acting , or real story. There is no real tutorial so you pretty much just figure it out on your own. It isn't that difficult though. I really think it would make a good first platformer for young players to experience. It is real easy, the enemies move really slow. The levels are pretty simple, and small. There isn't much penalty for dying just start level over, but you don't lose any progress. The only real thing that is difficult is the fact it doesn't have camera control . there are times you really can't tell where you going, or if your going to drop on a lower platform, because the camera zoom in way to tight, or behind something. It can be real annoying, but it doesn't happen a whole lot. So it is pretty simple to complete every level. You also collect berries to unlock two bonus levels. They also unlock different weapons as well, and count towards achievements. They are the only real Achievements you can really miss in this game. It's a pretty easy thousand in under a hour. Making it another can't miss for Achievement hunters especially with the five dollar price tag. 

The look of it is really nice I thought. Some of the levels actually looked like real toys or something. The enemies and characters, are all really adorable as well. The music really fits the game as well classical and piano all sound beautiful as you change levels. The sounds are all really fitting as well. Well maybe except for collecting berries that sound got real annoying around the two thousand mark when I was trying to collect the three thousand for the Achievement.My experience with it all is really positive. I don't have much negative to say about it. It may not be directed towards older gamers, but that doesn't effect the fact it works, it's affordable fun, and it is designed pretty well. My only real complaints with the game is the camera controls not being a option, and it's a little short. All things that can be fixed with a update, and some DLC levels.

So is it for you? I think if your an Achievement hunter, or have young kids it could be a lot of fun. It can also be really affordable game to add to their collection, and let them have some fun for a few days. It doesn't have a lot of replay value, and it's not going to take long too beat, but at the price it's worth a grab for a rainy/snowy day or a weekend.

Pros: Adorable looking designed levels
Cute Characters and enemies
Simple game play
Good for a evening or weekend of fun
Affordable and Easy Achievements

Cons: Bad Camera angles and control
Kind of Short
No real story or tutorial

Overall: 7.1 A perfect introduction to platforming for the young. A real nice evening or weekend of fun for the whole family. Not perfect, but certainly more positive than negative aspects.
