Catch stars — Little Play Square
What's on the screen
Stars in 3 colors (yellow, pale yellow and orange) come down from the top.
How to play
When a finger meets a star, sparkles scatter right there and the star flies off into the night sky, where it stays, small. Pressing near a star in the night sky makes that star bounce. A star that is missed simply slips off the bottom, and no number goes down.
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 Catch stars 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
- Open wide — A hippo waits with its mouth open. Drag a food to its mouth with a finger, or tap the food and it flies in. With each food its tummy grows rounder, and after 3 it lets out a contented sigh, "phew". Letting go outside the mouth only sends the food back to its place.
- Pop balloons — Balloons rise from the bottom and pop when a finger lands on one. When a touch misses, nothing happens.
- Peekaboo — Wherever a hand lands on the screen, a hidden animal looks out. A whole palm brings the answer too.
