Play Over The Hedge - Beesten Bij De Buren (n)(independent) Online

I picked up Over the Hedge: Beesten Bij de Buren for the Game Boy Advance a while back. It's a European release, and from what I can tell, it was published by Activision. It fits right in with the kind of licensed platformers that were common on the GBA, games based on cartoons or movies that tried to capture a bit of that energy in a portable format.

You control RJ the raccoon and Verne the turtle, switching between them to get through suburban levels. The main goal is to gather food and items from human backyards while avoiding hazards like guards and automated sprinklers. Each character has their own abilities; RJ can climb certain walls and use a slingshot, while Verne can swim and bash through obstacles with his shell. You explore the areas screen by screen, solving simple environmental puzzles to progress. The pacing is fairly straightforward, and the difficulty is manageable, though some sections require careful timing. It feels like a lighthearted, methodical scavenger hunt where you are always looking for the next clever way to snag a snack.
