Though this seems such a simple, not much to do kinda game (as a lot of little kid games are), children seem to love the gameplay. And for $2, it's a hard bargain to beat when this will keep them occupied for awhile.
Now, please note that I only currently own the free Dr. Panda games as I only babysit every now and then (my son is too young for games, yet), so I'm always hesitant to actually spend the money on games for kids that aren't mine. So, I'm glad I'm able to try this one out today!
Like I said before, this is a simple game. This is set around a daycare setting with five different baby animals to watch, play with, and feed. There's a bunch of different everyday items that should be familiar to most young kids, like a swimming pool or building blocks, that the child can interact with the baby animal by either dragging the animal to it or the item to the animal. There are also five different rooms for the baby animals (outside/the backyard, the main room, a kitchen, a bedroom/nap room, and a music room). So, there's a ton of different things your child can do with the babies.
The only problem I see that's stopping me from giving this a five star rating is, like others have noted, the parents don't seem to pick up the babies? Unless I haven't run the game long enough, I don't see anything to let the parents pick them up (like a button that could be tapped to let them know it's time to pick them up). I can already see the questions from the five year old girl I watch asking when they do pick them up and how to "finish" the game.
The graphics, usual for all Dr. Panda games, are great. The sounds are nice too and aren't too annoying to be on loud in the background. There's a small ad for the company's other game(s) in the corner, but that can be turned off in the "for parent" section, just in case you have a curious kid!
Overall, a wonderful game that I know a four year old girl will love and enjoy (as she really enjoys games like this one), a five year old boy that MAY enjoy it for at least a one time play (he prefers more interactive/action games), and a three year old who would be enthralled by this game. Note, I still have to test it out on them (will update IF they didn't like it), but I still would recommend this game to anyone who have young children (that they know enjoy simple touch and drag games like this one).
