Latest reviews of Gruffalo: Games app for iPhone and iPad
These games are fun to play. Theres a set of six jigsaws, tic tac toe, snap, nut catching, matching a pair of something, and matching the pattern. Some of the games can be a little challenging, but not too much. Theyre all one player vs computer, so you cant take turns to play a game together, but its still fun to try and beat someones best time on a game. Designed towards children, but a nice break for adults too!
My son might be a little young for this game, but he understands the concepts. What is frustrating to me is that in the tic-tac-toe and "snap" games: he CANT win. I am not one of those parents that is trying to falsely build my kids self-concept, but seriously: how can this be considered a kids game?
Fun and not too easy that it gets boring.
Im using an iPad mini and have deleted and downloaded this app 10 times but it keeps getting stuck and does not open. Disappointment as i paid a lot for it!!
There need to be more apps like this one! Beautiful graphics from genius Axel Scheffler. Games which are fun and challenging but not frustrating. An excellent way to introduce young children to old fashioned games like Snap. I wish the creators which add more games. @JudeStevens
