Flushed Away is an action-adventure game released in 2006 for the Game Boy Advance, developed by Altron and published by D3 Publisher. It blends action-adventure and platformer elements.

It landed about 5 years into the GBA's life. Other notable GBA releases from 2006 include Mother 3, Rhythm Tengoku and Drill Dozer.

It is part of the Simple DS series. The series also appears on other systems with Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords (DS) and Flushed Away (DS). Altron also made Pocky & Rocky with Becky, Hey Arnold!: The Movie and Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi: Kaznapped! for the GBA.

Flushed Away is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.

Pick it if…

  • you want to get lost in a long quest
  • you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)
  • you've played the GBA hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want a game you can finish in one short session
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Flushed Away is like

Action-adventures blend real-time combat with exploration, puzzles and item collection. You open up a larger world gradually as new tools let you reach places you couldn't before.

Tip for newcomers: Keep a mental (or paper) map of locked doors and unreachable ledges; most action-adventures expect you to come back once you find the right item.
