(please, leave review if you use one)

All the animals are rigged/skinned/cutout 3D mesh with clever texture atlas usage.
We use blended animations, vertex painted shadows to save on resources and with 46 Mb of APK size look as HQ 200-300 Mb application.

Enjoy!

 

Some WIP images for those who can be curious:

 

All the characters and backgrounds were packed (manually) to texture atlases. A lot of assets were re-used amount completely different scenes. Usage of vertex-painted shadows/gradients helped us to save on resources while keeping graphics HQ.

 

Hi There I will try this on my 2 years old baby boy. But it needs time as mother should permit (and this is the hardest part of making a game for toddlers )

I will also drop feedback when I have checked it Though it looks awesome! I have used 3GAPD66MV6XX6YHFZ90XZTE

 

Hey, awesome, thank you for sound fx bug report.

Our baby-girl isn't allowed to spend that much time with tablet too, but when we need 5-10 minutes for some urgent stuff - such kind of games work really good!

 

Used:

Will crash test this on my kids and write back later in the evening ;], as for dad, nice job here you achieved cute animations with great sound effects.

I have never compiled anything for android yet (can also imagine that feature like this might be blocked by OS) .. but your game for such young ones could benefit form locking System Buttons option in settings, so kids wouldn't hit parents with not working phone during a nap.

after short period exposure (<2years):

Well they where greatly attracted and entertained, but as suspected could not stay 10 seconds on right screen but returning all the time to main menu or start screen. I think that after hitting particular animal for a minute or so, maybe there should be some automated jump to next one with blinking in middle delay that command button

Any way nice game

 

Bending,
thank you for warm words and testing

Actually in Options (main menu) of the game we have Locked Pause function. Which helps to keep kids on one scene and prevent accidental clicks on Back button.
Most likely we cannot block Android's menu buttons (in case you mean that).

 

Oh my gosh that looks freaking adorable, haha. Just gave me a billion ideas. The wife and I are planning on kids soon and this game just got me a little more excited about it. Can't wait to see them engage in stuff like this.

 

Hey, thank you for kind words Doing something cool for your baby is really cool and rewarding! We did that game partially for my own baby girl ^_^
