Developed by Helixe and published by THQ, Tak and the Power of Juju arrived on the Game Boy Advance in 2003 as an action-adventure game. It blends action-adventure and platformer elements.
It landed about 2 years into the GBA's life. Other notable GBA releases from 2003 include Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and Sonic Battle.
It is part of the Tak and the Power of Juju series; on the GBA you can also try Tak 2: The Staff of Dreams. The series also appears on other systems with Tak: Mojo Mistake (DS) and Tak: The Great Juju Challenge (DS). Helixe also made Star Wars: The New Droid Army, Cars and The Incredibles for the GBA.

What playing Tak and the Power of Juju 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.
