Hero Academy

**Hero Academy** is a free game, released as a feature on the Cbeebies website in 2019, to promote Series 3 of Go Jetters. It features 5 "mini-games", based off of the main protagonists of Go Jetters, as well as antagonist Grandmaster Glitch. The game is currently available to play on the Cbeebies UK website.

## Official Description

*Do you want to train with the Go Jetters? Join Tala at the Go Jet Academy and complete tasks with the crew.*

## Plot

Playing as Tala, it is the player's job to complete 5 sets of tasks, set by each of the Go Jetters, as well as Tala's uncle Glitch, to earn Academy checkpoints.

## Gameplay

The player is given the option to choose to play one of five different minigames, marked on a map of the Go Jet Academy, with pictures of the characters indicating which location each game takes place in. Clicking on one of these character markers will boot up the unique character minigame.

### Xuli's Minigame

This minigame begins with Xuli meeting Tala at the academy beach, in a mud-covered vroomster. The player is tasked with cleaning the vroomster, using their mouse to drag a sponge across the vehicle to get rid of the mud. Once the vroomster is cleaned, Tala gets in, starting the next part of the game. Using their cursor, the player must control the vroomster, and have it travel through all the orange, star shaped hoops. If the hoop has successfully been passed through, they change colour to become teal. When the game has successfully been passed, Tala will do a loop-the-loop in the vroomster. After completion, a cut-scene is shown, where Xuli gives Tala a green check mark on her clipboard.

### Kyan's Minigame

The minigame begins with Kyan challenging Tala to a race, to the top of a high mountain. The player is tasked with helping Tala find the safest way to the top, by clicking on rocks. If the rock is safe, Tala will move to that spot on the hill. However, if it is unsafe, Tala will shiver, and the rock will fall off the mountain. Once at the top, a cut-scene plays, where Tala is met by Grandmaster Glitch at the top. All of a sudden, the mountain starts to shake, due to Grandmaster Glitch's over-excessive jumping. The player is then tasked with getting down the mountain, using G.O Board to do so. Using their mouse, the player must navigate Tala away from rocks, as well as collect golden star badges, while racing to the bottom. If Tala hits a rock, she will perform a flip. Once the player reaches the end of the minigame, a cut-scene is shown, where Kyan gives Tala a green check mark on her clipboard.

### Lars' Minigame

The minigame begins with Tala and Lars in the Truckster, on the water, where they run into a large oil spill. The duo are mortified, but resolve to use the G.O Vac together to clean it up. The player is tasked with using their mouse to control the G.O Vac, and suck up the oil. Once this task is completed, little fish are seen jumping out of the water. A cut-scene then plays, where Tala notes that the water is still polluted, which she and Lars resolve to cleaning up using G.O Grab. The player is tasked with using their mouse to click on pieces of litter in the ocean, to clean them up. Once the player completes the task, a cut-scene is shown, where Lars gives Tala a green check mark on her clipboard, and Tala declares that the ocean is clean again.

### Foz's Minigame

This minigame begins with Tala being invited by Foz to help him restore the G.O Dome of the Ancients. They decide to have Foz use the G.O Giant to fix the columns, before Tala requests help with a set of puzzles. The player is tasked with piecing the columns back together, by dragging the correct column segments into the unfinished slots. There are 5 columns in total. A cut-scene plays, where Tala finds the map for the G.O Dome of the Ancients, which is also destroyed. The player is then tasked with fixing it, by dragging the fragments with their mouse into the correct spot, similar to a puzzle. Once the task has been completed, a cut-scene is shown, where Foz gives Tala a green check mark on her clipboard.

### Glitch's Minigame

This minigame opens with Tala visiting her uncle, Grandmaster Glitch, wondering what he is up to. She is quick to discover that he is building a robot! The player is then tasked with helping to piece it together, by dragging each piece of the robot to its allocated spot, over a blueprint. The robot is then revealed to be a giant, blue, green and orange grimbot, who begins to dance. However, the robot does not last long, as it begins to crack and chip, before exploding, sending parts everywhere. The player is then tasked with picking up and recycling all of the parts, by using their mouse to pick up and drag each piece to their correct recycling bin. Once this has been achieved, a cut-scene is shown, where Glitch gives Tala a green check mark on her clipboard.
