88
friends, 88 sounds. Every character is drawn and synthesised from scratch: the cow moos, the bee buzzes, the kettle whistles, the T. rex roars.
Nobody loses
No timer, no score, no game over. A wrong drop wobbles and comes back.
A generous snap
No rotation. Land a piece near its shadow and it clicks into place.
Pieces grow as they lift
They rise above the finger, so a small hand never covers what it is carrying.
A nudge, never a nag
If nobody plays for a while, the next piece waves to help.
How it works
Three taps and a toddler is playing on their own
-
STEP 1
Pick a show
Twelve posters at the ticket booth, each with its own stage and stars for the shows already done.
-
STEP 2
Drag a piece
Pieces grow as they lift and rise above the finger, so nothing is hidden.
-
STEP 3
Take a bow
Complete the stage and everyone jumps up for a BRAVO before the curtain falls.
For parents
Built to hand over
You should be able to pass the tablet across the table without thinking twice about it.
No ads, ever
Nothing blinks, nothing interrupts, nothing sells.
No in-app purchases
One payment. Nothing is locked behind a paywall.
No data collected
No accounts, no analytics, no tracking of any kind.
Works offline
There is no network code at all: fine on a plane or in the car.
Gentle sound
Music sits low under the effects, and each has its own slider.
Grown-up gate
Settings and quitting need a two-second press to open.

Questions
Before you buy
What age is it for?
Two to four. Toddlers who can drag a finger will manage on their own; younger ones enjoy the sounds with a grown-up.
Is there any reading?
None. Everything is shapes, shadows and sound, so it works in any language — and before any of them.
How long is a session?
As long as you like. Each show is a couple of minutes and rolls straight into the next, so it is easy to stop after one.
