My daughter (5 years) may actually very little "computer games". Since she had to inhale regularly due to a stubborn cold in recent weeks, we've got something watered down the usual rule - and I have been looking for an app that could be an alternative to that of her beloved Cut-the-Rope. You should be as little quieter and not require daily use (such as the "animal" -maintenance programs) still have Barbie or Ähliches about. When I "inventions Petterson" came across, I thought this might be the right thing - and we're all excited. At their own pace you have to help Petterson, increasingly complete complicated inventions, by bringing the right components in the right places. Is done correctly, the component hooked one, is it wrong, it will automatically be pushed back to the starting position, so that at some point comes by pure trying out the solution. With the help of a lever, you can start the invention and see what happens. Once the invention works, there is a huge praise from Petterson (with Swedish accent :-)) and a gold star. If you have 4 of 6 solved tasks an overview page, the next page will open. This is also good, so you can get stuck, even if you do not partout creates a task.
The graphics are great, the inventions extremely imaginative and funny. One can also super tinker with several together and learn along the way about mechanics. Other side effect: My daughter is now on the invention trip: Different Planes from Lego and various sophisticated inventions of cardboard and paper now enrich our budget ... The only problem: The re-turn the game falls tremendously difficult - my daughter anyway, but honestly , me too!
