Before you start

Put a touchscreen device between the two playersBoth players touch the screen at the same time, so put the phone or tablet on a table or a lap and sit side by side so both can reach it.
Set the volume firstPressing makes sounds. Please have a grown-up set the volume first.
Turn off the screen rotation lockOne game only shows its two-player button when the device is turned sideways. With rotation locked, the screen won’t turn.

Little Play Squareages 0 to 4
A collection of mini-games. In “Ensemble”, the three animals on the stage each play their own part; tap another animal while one is playing and its sound joins in from the next beat. Animals tapped at almost the same moment start on the same beat, so two players can each take an animal. In “Color blending”, each finger can hold its own paint ball, so two players can each carry a ball and put them together to mix a new color.
How to play
Cog Racersages 5 to 9
A racing game. On the course select screen, press “Two players” and the sideways screen splits into left and right halves: each player touches their own side to steer their own car, and both race the same course at the same time. “Two players” only appears when the device is sideways, and not on every course (for example, courses you made yourself). The two cars don’t bump into each other. There are no places or times; when both cars finish, “You both finished!” appears. On a keyboard, the left car uses A and D, and the right car uses ← and →.
How to play

How many fingers the screen reads depends on the deviceDevices differ in how many fingers they can read at once. If a finger doesn’t respond when both press at the same time, try pressing one moment after the other.
