Sploony is a fun, Augmented Reality educational game to help children with word spelling on characters from the animal kingdom. The 3D models are presented as balloon-shaped animals and the game has 5 levels to complete. Sploony is free to try with five complementary characters and for a small fee, all additional 40+ characters can be unlocked.
Did we mention that Sploony is multi-lingual and all characters can be translated to the four main languages?
- English
- Italian
- Spanish
- French
How does it work?
The five Animal Zoo categories are organized from the easiest to more complicated, starting with the difficulty level of the equivalent of English first-graders. After selecting a category, the game will display the animal-shaped balloon, together with randomly scattered 3D letters within the game environment. The player has to find these letters by moving the device in any direction of the XYZ axes. Tapping on the letter in the correct order will produce a celebration effect and if the letter wasnt expected, it will burn up. Incorrectly spelled words will be stored for the player in a separate category called "My Mishaps", where they all can be revisited and corrected. Even adults have fun with this way of learning.
No sign-up is required and the in-app purchase will be charged to your iTunes account. There is no expiry date on the purchase as it is a one-off payment which will unlock the Animal Zoo Pack. We will be adding more categories and languages in the future so stay tuned. It is designed for both iPhone and iPad. If you want to use the game on both devices simultaneously, because there isnt any account to log on, please consider making the purchase on one device and on the second device navigate to game settings, select "Restore Purchases" and sign in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase the pack on the first device. After checking with App Store it will be synchronized and unlocked.
Happy learning!
