The game received mixed reviews from critics. It includes a steel-case cover of the Enchiridion (The hero's handbook), a poster of Ooo, a book called Book of Beasts, and a stylus designed after Finn's sword.

On July 12, 2012, it was revealed that the game would have a collector's edition for both DS and 3DS. Jake Kaufman composed the music for the game, which was completely original except for the title theme. The game was initially announced on March 23, 2012, by both WayForward and the series' creator Pendleton Ward, who worked with the developer as a creative consultant for the game. It is up to Finn and Jake to set things straight. The Ice King is busily constructing a Garbage Princess out of the odds and ends left lying around by heroes Finn and Jake. They include a wavy punch, ear shield, transforming into a bridge, dinghy, parasol and many more. Jake learns more of his stretchy abilities as players progress into the game. There are four mainlands players can explore: the Grasslands, Candy Kingdom, Ice Kingdom, and Red Rock Pass. Combining food can either replenish more health, (like hamburger and ketchup) or harm your health (like hamburger and maple syrup). Some items are food items that replenish some of your health. It has many items that help the player on the adventure, many of which are iconic items from the show such as the Tiger Claw and Royal Tart. The game contains a second quest once beaten. The gameplay is shown to top-down when Finn and Jake are exploring The Land of Ooo, but when the player goes into a dungeon, the gameplay switches into a 2D side-scroller, much like Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.

The game was delisted from digital storefronts in 2016 due to licensing issues. The 3DS version was later released in Europe and Australia on February 13, 2014, as a Nintendo eShop exclusive. The game was released in North America for retail release on November 20, 2012, and digitally via Nintendo eShop on December 13, 2012. It is based on Pendleton Ward's animated television series Adventure Time for Cartoon Network.

Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?!! is a 2D side-scrolling action-adventure video game developed by WayForward Technologies and published by Bandai Namco Games and D3 Publisher for the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS.
