• A platform and exploration game – Scour the nooks and crannies of 5 varied and colorful worlds, find your way through vertical levels to collect the ingredients that will allow you to concoct the antidote to save the forest!
• Save the forest together! – A second player will be able to join the adventure by playing a small robot! Invented by Handyman Smurf, this little ally can attach or detach itself from the Smurfizer at any time and has some very useful smurfing abilities such as healing the surrounding plants, fly, and even throw explosive seeds on enemies!
