FOR PARENTS

MR. MEN: MISHAPS & MAYHEM app is a fun, fast and funny, action-packed collection of games based on the much-loved Mr. Men™ and Little Miss™ characters from the popular book and TV series.

On entering the app, the player must play through a wide range of fastmoving games back-to-back. The difficulty level increases as the player progresses through all the games, becoming more and more frantic until the player loses all of their lives.

As well as completing as many of the games as possible before they run out of lives, the aim is for the player to both beat their own high score and compete to become Top Player on the overall high score table.

There are two versions of the game in circulation. A Free version with In-App Purchases and a Paid Version.

The Free version of the app has 3 games to play straight away plus 12 more available to buy. With this version it is possible to play with 15 characters.

The Paid version of the app has 5 games to play straight away with another 5 to unlock through play.

Playing the Games
When the player starts to play the games, one of the unlocked games is selected at random from the pool and presented to the player. When a new game is unlocked, it is simply added to the pool of available games to play.

Remember for a game to be in play it will be shown in colour.

To succeed, the player must complete each game's task within the time limit. If they fail they lose a life.

When a game is over, the next game is selected at random for the player to play. The player must successfully complete 3 games to move up a difficulty level.

The player's score increases for every successful game they complete. The actual score increase is based on the speed at which the player completes the task.

If the player successfully completes the round of three selected games, they will see a "Faster" screen and the pool will be re-populated in a random order before play begins again. At this point, the difficulty level of the games increases and the game time limit will be reduced.

The player continues to play with the difficulty level increasing on completion of each round of three games until they lose all their three lives.

PAUSE GAMES

LIVES GAUGE - The number of lives the player has is displayed after each round. The worms disappear down the hole when a life is lost.

Success
At the end of each game if the player has successfully completed the task, they see the success screen.

The animated score is their cumulative score.

High Score is the highest score the player has achieved.

Life Lost
When the player has not completed the task within the time limit, they are shown the life being lost together with their score.

Game Over
This is shown when the player has lost all 3 lives.

The stars the player has won are shown here. Pressing any button on the screen adds the stars earned to the star gauge.



Unlocking a Game
To unlock a new game, the player earns stars by successfully completing games. When the player has earned enough stars, a new character and therefore a new game is unlocked. This character will now appear in colour on the Character Unlock Screen.

When a character is unlocked you will see them added to the Home Screen.

PURCHASING A GAME OR PACK
To purchase extra games press the Store button and make your selection. Purchases cannot be made until you sign in to your Store account and validate your credentials.

If you purchase single games separately each will be added to the unlocked pool of games for immediate play. If you purchase a pack of games, one game will be unlocked for immediate play with the remainder unlocked as you accumulate stars through play.
