Boxville
By Ohhio s.r.o.
Boxville is a point and click adventure game with a quirky art style and tons of logic puzzles to solve. The city of Boxville starts to shake and you play as a soda can (yes, a soda can) looking to find the source of the disturbance, find your tin can dog, and solve a host of other cans’ predicaments along the way. Play consists of noticing clues, solving puzzles, picking up and combining objects, exploring the city and communicating with other cans via wordless doodles drawn on cardboard. The game is charming and fun, with puzzles that are challenging, but not too difficult (and you can always find a walkthrough on the internet if you get stuck). Boxville is a fun and quirky puzzle adventure with no ads or no in-app purchases.
Snowflake Adventure
By Matthew Spenn
Snowflake adventure is a very simple toddler game about catching snowflakes. Snowflakes gently fall from the sky (lightly or thickly depending on preference), snowmen wave, skiers glide past, and birds fly through the air, all to cheerful background music. A counter keeps track of how many snowflakes you’ve caught, but there’s no winning or losing. Snowflake Adventure is a simple app for very young kids about tapping on things and discovering what happens in a cozy winter setting.
Magic Elements Periodic Table
By Deng Jiuhong
Magic Elements is a colourful periodic table of the elements. Each element is shown with the symbol, atomic number, weight, plus some details about where it can be found and how it is used. Each element is accompanied by pictures to make them easier to remember. The app also comes with a quiz that challenges you to remember the details of the elements and how they are used. The quiz comes with a daily limit on how many answers you can get wrong, with an in-app purchase to unlock unlimited play.
Make Formula
By Yasuyuki Nagata
Make Formula challenges you to complete math puzzles. Each puzzle contains four single digit numbers, a target number, the operators for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and brackets to group operations. For example, the app asks you to form an equation out of 1, 5, 8 and 9 that equals 2 with the answer being (9+1) ÷ (5-1) . The interface is very basic, but the puzzle element makes for some much needed variety when learning and practicing math. You can access hints by watching ads, or pay a small in-app purchase to remove ads and access hints freely. Make Formula is a simple, yet challenging and different way of practicing math.
