Adult Swim loves to tinker. First, there was a virtual reality-fueled journey into psychedelia with The Virtual Brainload. Then there was that Rick and Morty Instagram game. Now, Adventure Time is getting in on the fun.
Adventure Time: Magic Man's Head Games sends players off on an adventure with their pals from the show, Finn and Jake. As you can see in the trailer above, the game borrows its basic design from classic third-person platforming games like Super Mario 64. Except you're in VR, so you can look around freely and use line of sight to perform light puzzle-solving.
Magic Man's Head Games features the same voice cast that's helped to make the show so popular. Players take the role of Tiny, a monster that Magic Man transforms into a balloon. You trail along behind Finn and Jake as the duo sets out to return Tiny to his original form.
Created by Pendleton Ward, Adult Swim's Adventure Time follows Finn and Jake as they get into and out of all sorts of trouble in the post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo. The show's irreverent sense of humor and penchant for referencing everything from Dungeons & Dragons to video games has made it a popular one in the geekier corners of fandom.
Magic Man's Head Games comes from Turbo Button, the team that made the inventive SMS Racing. It's a short experience, but it's available now for free in the Gear VR app store.
