Where’s my water – good physics puzzle game from Disney
Posted on December 4, 2011 | No CommentsThe Disney folks have some good apps on the iPhone for kids. Very kid friendly, but sometimes geared towards some of their brands. This game is different, since it is created around a new character, Swampy the Alligator. Swampy just wants to take a shower, […] -
Casey’s Contraptions – physics game, geared towards kids with a iPad friendly UI
Posted on August 13, 2011 | 1 CommentUpdate:This game was bought out and renamed Amazing Alex by Rovio. But it’s still the same great game. It’s a physics, Rube Goldberg game, with a slant towards children. It is a lot like the previously reviewed Crazy Machines, but it has a much more intuitive […] -
We Theives – Cute problem solver, though maybe a little dark.
Posted on April 8, 2011 | No CommentsThese guys are cute, no doubt about it. But the story line is a little strange, with them stealing treasures. Them stealing treasures without the ability to move on their own even – they need to be pushed and prodded through physics (gravity, levers, explosions) […] -
Free the Fobbles – fun little two player game
Posted on March 31, 2011 | No CommentsThis one was made by a fellow Corona developer. It is a nice, simple game, designed for two players. Kind of wish we had thought of it. Basically, one removes little logs that allow the Fobbles to fall down to the ground. First team to […] -
Max and the Magic Marker – All the goodness of Trace, plus some.
Posted on March 29, 2011 | No CommentsWe love Trace. It’s a great game. But at the same time, we love Harold and the Purple Crayon. Max and the Magic Marker is their child. Max has got a challenging world he needs to get through – and you’re the one to help […] -
Cut the Rope – a lot easier to argue the educational merits than Angry Birds.
Posted on March 28, 2011 | 1 CommentOkay – so I’ve tried to say that Angry Birds and its physics engine can be educational, but it was a stretch and I knew it. Cut the Rope, another popular, cute little game has been a lot easier to convince mom of its edutainment […] -
Perfect Balance Harmony – a fun way to introduce some laws of physics
Posted on July 8, 2010 | No CommentsA game with subtle physics lessons that will delight your child for years to come. When they’re in college, they’ll look back on their days of playing Perfect Balance Harmony and give it credit for all their A’s in the hard sciences. Well, maybe it […] -
Crazy Machines – updated version of mousetrap
Posted on July 1, 2010 | 4 CommentsThere is an episode of Blue’s Clues about “Contraptions” and the little guy loved it. Loved the ideas, loved struggling to say the word ‘contraption’, loved trying to think up his own simple contraptions. That made me thing of the board game “Mousetrap” which I […] -
Angry Birds – physics and problem solving with a slightly twisted storyline
Posted on June 22, 2010 | 1 CommentLet’s just say I wasn’t the one that introduced Sal to this game. That said, can’t say it’s all bad, and the kid and his dad love it. It ranks #2 for Sal 5.0. I do encourage him to play different apps as well, and […]
