Captain Planet: Gaia Guardians Supporting Earth Day With Hope Island Recovery Challenge


AT&T and Turner have announced the Hope Island Recovery Challenge for mobile game.

In celebration of Earth Day 2019, AT&T* and Turner are calling on all Planeteers to join superhero Captain Planet in restoring trees on Hope Island in the “Hope Island Recovery Challenge.” From Earth Day (April 22, 2019) through Arbor Day (April 26, 2019), AT&T will donate $1, up to $100,000, to the Captain Planet Foundation™ for every tree restored on Hope Island in the new mobile game “Captain Planet: Gaia Guardians,” published by Turner’s Adult Swim Games. AT&T’s donation will support Project Learning Garden™, a program creating schoolyard gardens for students to engage in inquiry-driven, project-based learning.

FREE for download from the Apple App Store and Google Play, “Captain Planet: Gaia Guardians” brings players together with the five famous Planeteers – Kwame, Wheeler, Linka, Gi and Ma-Ti – to evoke Captain Planet and defeat eco-villains that are polluting the world. The “Hope Island Recovery Challenge” is open to players 18 and older in the United States**. To participate, players tap on polluted trees anywhere on Hope Island. This will generate a contribution from AT&T to the Captain Planet Foundation. Players can help spread the word and recruit others to join the cause by using the hashtag #GoPlanet and sharing across their social platforms.

“This Earth Day, AT&T is making it easy and fun for everyone to make a difference,” said Charlene Lake, senior vice president - corporate social responsibility and chief sustainability officer, AT&T. “Through the ‘Hope Island Recovery Challenge,’ we’re turning in-game actions into real-world contributions to the Captain Planet Foundation to create more outdoor learning spaces at schools.”

All player-generated donations will benefit Project Learning Garden, a program of the Captain Planet Foundation that helps teachers facilitate an engaging hands-on lesson in the garden instead of a textbook-driven lesson in the classroom – while teaching the same required curriculum standard in math, science, social studies, health or language arts. It also connects students to nature and their food while helping them develop an understanding of natural systems and an early palate for fresh, healthy fruits and vegetables.

“Gardens in the schoolyard help students learn and develop a love for the planet,” said Leesa Carter-Jones, president & CEO, Captain Planet Foundation. “With support from AT&T, gamers can help bring more gardens to our schools and inspire a new generation of Planeteers.”

The “Hope Island Recovery Challenge” is just one way AT&T is working to create a better, more environmentally sustainable world. The company is using its scale and technology to help solve some of our planet’s most pressing challenges. From its 10x Carbon Reduction goal, to its large-scale renewable energy investments, to its actions to minimize waste and build climate resiliency, AT&T is helping to care for the planet through numerous environmental programs and initiatives.

Crazy Kung Fu: A chunky, focused fitness‑meets‑reflex fighter (VR Game Review)

Crazy Kung Fu transforms martial‑arts training into a physical rhythm game that sharpens reflexes and raises your heart rate: fast, reflex‑driven, calorie‑burning gameplay wrapped in deep moddability. What started as a focused VR reflex trainer has evolved into a vibrant, community‑shaped practice arena; richer environments, meaningful cosmetic rewards, and new systems that push precision, stamina, and skill growth in equal measure. What the game is • High‑intensity reflex combat : Fast, physical gameplay that maps your hands and body to punching, dodging, and blocking; scoring rewards precise timing and optimal range so every movement matters. • Deep, varied content : 72 handcrafted levels across four distinct modes (Train, Fight, Focus/Compete, Workout/Event), with modifiers and multi‑tier difficulties that scale from welcoming warmups to brutal, pro‑level tests. • Distinct, atmospheric arenas : Six immersive environments; from intimate dojos to a tranquil bamboo forest; each with b...

Haymaker: VR Brawling, Up Close - Authentic, physics‑first combat that turns your body into the controller. (Game Review)

Haymaker is a physics‑first VR brawler in active Early Access that prioritizes authentic, body‑driven melee and high replayability. Its core systems are already playable: weighty, physics‑based hand interactions for grabbing, grappling, and striking; gesture‑driven kicks and knees that reward full‑body motion; adaptive AI that reads and reacts to the battlefield; and sandbox encounters that encourage improvisation with props and environment. Many systems remain in prototype; levels, progression loops, and some modes are still being shaped, but the mechanical foundation is solid and satisfying. The studio is deliberately using Early Access as a development lab: player feedback will guide tuning, bug fixes, and content expansion, so the game you play now is a promising glimpse of a more polished, content‑rich brawler to come. Core systems and combat • Physics‑driven hands : Interactions are governed by a weight‑aware physics model that responds to force, angle, and momentum; so grabs, h...

Captain Wayne: Vacation Desperation - Retro Rampage on Orca Isle (Game Review)

Captain Wayne: Vacation Desperation detonates with hand‑drawn, ink‑drenched visuals and breakneck retro shooter action, grafting a double‑barreled shotgun onto a sailor’s arm and sending him on a gleefully gory rampage across Orca Isle. Released November 25, 2025 by Ciaran Games LLC and published by Silver Lining Interactive, the game fuses frantic boomer‑shooter gunplay with over‑the‑top animated cutscenes, a ripping, adrenaline‑driven soundtrack, and an endless arena mode that keeps the chaos replayable, equal parts cartoon carnage and twitch‑focused design that rewards speed, improvisation, and a taste for glorious destruction. Gameplay Loop and Systems Core loop • Shoot, survive, adapt : Move fast, read the room, and string momentum through aggressive play. Encounters reward mobility and timing; dash into cover, lay down suppressing fire, then finish with a brutal melee or explosive for maximum payoff. • Distinct weapon identities : Each tool feels purposeful; The Captain’s Ol’ Re...
