Some clever person pointed out that if I am making a game for 3 year olds then maybe textual instructions aren’t such a great idea, so I’ve been playing around with a visualization on some of the early levels to give hints as to what the game mechanics are:

Press play to walk

Drag and drop blocks

Drag, drop and rotate blocks

The little hand animation display once at the beginning of three of the levels.

I would love to hear if you guys think this is an improvement, or if it just confuses things.

Through the eýes of my ínner three year old it’s awesome and I finally understand what I have to do :smiley:

I just finished the release trailer for the game, this is the video that would go with the store listing on Google Play, and I’d love to hear any feedback you guys might have.

I think that’s a pretty nice video for the trailer, shows all the major features quite well.

Although it was only 1:20 long, for some reason it felt a bit too long, not sure why though. Maybe try taking out 1-2 levels and see if you can still get the same feel from it?

Otherwise, it looks great and if my kids were still little I’d get it for them right away!

Great job!

Thank you.

I agree, it feels too long, Thank you for pointing it out.
I’ll try to cut it down to be under a minute, there really is no point in showing me do the elaborate builds when seeing the result gives the same information.

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback and your comment made my day!

I like it! I’m using that exact same music in my game! I found it on opengameart.org!

#48

Thank you!

Yeah I found most of the assets on opengameart.com, the music is by SketcyLogic and the graphics is of course by Kenny.

I consider this project done.

If any mods see this, feel free to move it to Showcase.

Thanks.
