After a magical rainbow rock that grants wishes brings chaos to the suburbs, players must fix wishes-gone-wrong in this entertaining platformer with classic puzzle elements. Play as 4 of your favorite characters from the movie. Free your house from booger monsters as Nose Noseworthy. Escape the canyon of doom and the castle that Loogie Short wished into existence. Choose between Toe Thompson and Helvetica Black to destroy the power-mad Mr. Black in the Black Box factory. It’s up to you to return the community of Black Falls to normal.
