Grandson enjoyed it so much is asking if you doing another.. Graphics were wonderful. Each story kept max amazed he's started from the beginning now."Jeni R., on 16. September 2016:"My 4 year old's first game Wanted to finally introduce our 4 year old to games and chose this for its cute characters and innocence. He needed some gentle explanation for the controls and the idea that he could let go of things to try them in places but after that, he loved it. His eyes lit up on the second level when he saw a little boy Zwuggel play with a train, enthused to Mama & after stopping, he emulated the girl climbing across the waterfall using sticks for hand and footholds. Full marks from this parent -- good safe fun :) "Made by a small indie teamStefan Leuchtenberg — Art, Illustrations, Animations, Character DesignJohannes Krämer — Game Design, Programming, TechWe work with other external artists and professionals for sound, music, translations, etc.From mobile to your desktopThis game was initially developed for mobile devices, and we wanted to bring it to the large screens of desktops as well!For the Steam version, we added keyboard input in some of the chapters, where we believe makes intuitively sense.The majority of the chapters is played with the mouse, by pointing, clicking, and dragging.Also, only the Steam version comes with Achievements (Psst, some hidden ones, too).If you have suggestions or comments, including about controls or input, please email us!Privacy Your privacy is important to us: This game does not collect any personal information.This game does not contain any ads or in-app-purchases.

Sim UK Junior Rating (74\/100)===============================Longevity: 6Fun: 7Educational: 9Positivity + Equality: 9Replayability: 6https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=K5qGaWET-kkThis game has won awards in Germany for PAEDI 2016 Awards Outstanding children\u2019s software and it is easy to see why that is.The animations and illustrations are impressive and brilliantly colourful, bright and packed full of fun. Ideal for an inquisitive youngster!I wish there were more games like this, as a parent I search constantly for ways to help teach my little one in new and creative ways and sometimes an educational game is just the ticket! PROS======-\tFun & Educational.-\tBeautiful animations, vibrant, happy and fun. Perfect for a child\u2019s reading book.-\tInteresting storyline and characters.-\tEasy for early readers and more advanced readers to enjoy, even by themselves.-\tEach time you play there appear to be slightly different items on display in some of the chapters. This encourages repeat play (important for reading).-\tFair price. CONS======-\tAs good as this is I think more could have done on the assisted reading front; coloured text for important words, perhaps an option to have the words spoken\u2026.even single spoken words upon a click. This would enable young children to learn even when playing alone.-\tInconsistencies around how the story Text boxes are dismissed caused a few accidental quick click dismissal incidents\u2026.As a result you don\u2019t know exactly what to do. It is easily overcome but a frustration none the less.-\tSome of the chapters are way too quick\u2026single click completion.-\tThe game is a mobile port, nicely done but not fully utilising the PC opportunities.-\tLanguage translation is fine 90% of the time, but a small amount of questionable rhyming word selections will stand out to adults.. Okay, I was told that my Half-Life 2 may be a little too violent for my 4 year old grandaughter, although she LOVED telling me when to shoot the tounge monsters. I somewhat agreed with the criticizm and purchased this game. My 4yr old grandaughter loves it, and it is very entertaining. the thing I like the best with this game is that it teaches them to use THE MOUSE. In this day of touch screens, a Click and Drag operation is difficult for many of the new generation. She picked up on the concept right away and became more precise on the mouse operations as the game continued. A couple of times however, I caught her wanting to drag the items with her finger on my 24" monitor. Overall a very good purchase and I will be looking for similar games in the future. Have to keep those grand-kids entertained, and I can always play Half-Life after they go to bed.. my 5 year old really enjoys it. i would recommend it, but you have to bare in mind, this game does have a lot of reading in it (for kids atleast), so of course she struggles with that part only being 5, so you would somewhat have to play it with them. i mean they can skip the reading and just guess what to do, simple enough but 8\/10. Finally a good, easy game for toddlers on Steam. Works well with touch on a tablet too. An option to hide the mouse\/hand would make it perfect. Although he's a little young to manage the mouse, our 22-month-old Smol Owlbear loves playing Zwuggels on a touchscreen, so much so that we've bought it for additional platforms. The characters are charming - especially Nico - and the mini-games that make up each level of the game almost all hit the sweet spot between interactive toys and intellectual challenges for young kids,I love the multi-lingual text, as it gives our family a chance to do some reading in a couple of the languages we use, in a refreshing format.Works extremely well on Linux under Wine (installed via a Wine install of Steam).. Absolutely amazing game for my son. He can improve his mouse skills. He is very good in touchscreens like all kids, but good old mouse skills are only improving. I wish there are more games like this.. A really good interactive game, my 4 year old loves the game and it is helping him learn some valuable keyboard and mouse skills..
