Looney Tunes World of Mayhem to shut down after seven years

Pocket Gamer RSS Feed3 min read(about 1 month ago)

Overview & Key Takeaways

There's not much room for silliness on mobile at the minute, it seems, as Looney Tunes: World of Mayhem is set to shutter later this fall. The casual ARPG based on the famous cartoon cast of characters will cease service on October 15th, with in-app purchases closing on August 16th. Looney Tunes: World of Mayhem had a fairly respectable run, as far as mobile games go. Released back in 2019, we found it to be quite an enjoyable, casual ARPG, which is something many in the genre still struggle to grasp. Unfortunately, the wacky characters of the Looney Tunes probably weren't suited for the crowded ARPG genre. ... [MORE]

  • Looney Tunes: World of Mayhem will shut down later this Fall
  • The casual ARPG allowed you to play as characters of the hit cartoon franchise
  • In-app purchases close in August, with the game shuttering in October

There's not much room for silliness on mobile at the minute, it seems, as Looney Tunes: World of Mayhem is set to shutter later this fall. The casual ARPG based on the famous cartoon cast of characters will cease service on October 15th, with in-app purchases closing on August 16th.

Looney Tunes: World of Mayhem had a fairly respectable run, as far as mobile games go. Released back in 2019, we found it to be quite an enjoyable, casual ARPG, which is something many in the genre still struggle to grasp. Unfortunately, the wacky characters of the Looney Tunes probably weren't suited for the crowded ARPG genre.

Of course, you realise this means WAR

World of Mayhem certainly had a lot of great nods to the back catalogue of Looney Tunes, with different characters based on how they were depicted in the shorts, and the usual 'toon-logic' attacks such as dropping anvils and whatnot.

About my only objection to how this shutdown is being handled is for in-app purchases to be closed on August 16th rather than immediately. While it'll be doubtless hard to miss, with people knowing that the game is shutting down, the usual thing is to close in-app purchases immediately.

Still, at the very least, if you're curious about giving World of Mayhem a chance for yourself, you can check out our list of the best teams in World of Mayhem. Just remember that the game is being delisted on August 23rd, so you've got a limited time left to download it!

Of course, if you'd rather see what else is actually releasing rather than being closed down on mobile, that's good too. Why not take a look at our latest list of the five new mobile games to try this week and see some of the more interesting launches this past week?

SoulTerra Odyssey sees Bandai Namco take a crack at colourful, roguelike, match-three action

Over the weekend, a trailer for a new release caught my eye. With colourful match-three gameplay and some obvious RPG elements, I was curious why I hadn't heard of it before. Imagine my surprise upon finding out that SoulTerra Odyssey had just hit soft launch for Australia, the Philippines, New Zeland and the UK, and from none other than Bandai Namco. SoulTerra Odyssey pitches itself as a distinctive blend of match-three puzzle gameplay, roguelite upgrades and RPG battles as you explore a colourful cartoon world with just a hint of grit to it. You'll recruit a crew of quirky passengers to help out in your adventures, and leverage their abilities in battle. ...

That’s My Balloon! turns balloon popping into an iOS score chase📱 Mobile

That’s My Balloon! turns balloon popping into an iOS score chase

It seems that today has been given over to arcade releases. Frutz had me dodging missiles earlier, and now That’s My Balloon! wants me to spend the evening popping balloons. At least this one does not expect me to inflate them first. Out now on iOS, That’s My Balloon! is a one-tap arcade release built around spotting balloons and bursting them before they float off the screen. You will also need to avoid dangerous surprises that drift across the screen. As rounds continue, balloons become harder to catch, and those hazards start making the one-tap controls considerably less relaxing. ...

Frutz sends you through five arcade worlds in pursuit of perfect runs

It's a brand new week - for some people, that means easing into it, but for others, it means chasing perfect grades while a screen fills with missiles. Frutz has arrived at a useful time. Out now on iOS and Android, Frutz is a retro-inspired side-scrolling arcade shooter that takes you through five cosmic worlds. Lord Zorkannan has handed the five Cosmic Gems to his strongest guardians, which is inconvenient, so you will need to defeat each one before meeting him in the Cosmic Rift. Until then, his guardians are busy filling every planet with enemies and hazards. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/frutz/official-launch/)
