This has been a favorite for me and my children for years and I highly recommend for an unconventional way to interact with drawn elements on a screen.
MY LITTLE CHILD WONT STOP PLAYING GAME. IT GIVE ME LOT OF ME TIME
You can even “spin” some of the animals! On the iPhone you can unfortunately activate the notifications dock while swiping down or up, which abruptly returns you to the stress of your life momentarily, but it’s not s dealbreaker - the margin is calibrated wide enough for that to be an occasional fluff. Christof, how about a big/kid quasi-CHOMP version where you can upload images of say, to replace the animal face, and then you get to duke it out with them? 😉
Best game for 15 year olds and 75 year old to play together! 😎🤩
I love playing this when I’m bored and have nothing to do! Some may say It’s just a little kids game, but I am not afraid to argue with them!😂
This is so funny i like the giraffe licking my screen 😂 👅🙀😹 and the lady bug walking on the apple 🍎 🐞
Love this so much! Clever and beautiful! The best and ONLY app I’ve ever downloaded for my kids
