Rattle — Little Play Square
What's on the screen
1 rattle, in yellow and red, sits large in the middle of the screen.
How to play
It sounds whether you press it or slide a finger across it, and the rattle sways and musical notes pop out. There is no need to shake the device itself.
This game sits in Games for ages 0 and 1. The age is only a guide, so children older than that and children younger than that are just as welcome to play it.
What this game doesn't have
- Time limits and scoresThere is no countdown, no score and no run of days in a row.
- Game overThere is no state that stops a child from going on. You can stop the moment interest runs out.
- Ads and purchasesNothing can be pressed by mistake that carries a child off to another site.
- Text fieldsNo name and no email address is ever asked for. There is no sign-up either.
How to start
Just open Little Play Square and pick the Rattle picture on the home screen. Once it has finished loading, it starts up the same way in places with no signal. Sound is switched with the speaker mark on the home screen (it steps through normal, off and quiet, so the first press turns it off).
More from Games for ages 0 and 1
- Crack the egg — Each touch on the egg adds one crack, and on the third an animal is born from inside. Then a new egg comes back, so it never ends.
- Inflate the ring — Rest a finger on the ring and it puffs up a little at a time for as long as you hold. Let go and it simply stops there — it never shrinks back and nothing has to be started over.
- Soft strokes — Stroke the fluffy fur, the water or the sand with a finger: the fur leans and springs back, ripples spread across the water, and a groove stays in the sand and slowly fills in. The same movement brings a different answer and sound depending on where you touch. There is nothing to aim at and no ending.
