[prMac.com] Katowice, Poland - Rainbow Stories today is pleased to
introduce Cars and Friends - Puzzle Game for Boys 1.0 for iOS, their new
animated jigsaw puzzle app for young kids. Each of the 30 different
scenes can be set to one of three levels of difficulty: Easy, Medium, or
Hard. Featuring puzzle pieces that double in size when touched, kids
can create a large picture from small pieces that are presented just two
at a time. The expansion of pieces, dragging them on to the picture,
and placing them correctly or incorrectly are all animated actions with
accompanying sound effects. The app also includes original, festive
music.
At launch in landscape mode, Cars and Friends - Puzzle Game for Boys
displays all 30 illustrations in Apple's eye-catching, Cover Flow View.
Kids can scroll horizontally to pick the puzzle they would like to do.
Once selected, the illustration fills the leftmost two-thirds of the
screen. Pieces to the puzzle slide on to the screen from the right, and
only two pieces are displayed at a time. Compared to the illustration,
the colors of the puzzle pieces are deep and realistic, so when they are
correctly placed over the illustration it remains clear which pieces
are still missing.
When the child touches one of the two pieces, it grows immediately to
twice its former size, and is exactly the correct size to fit in the
puzzle. This innovation encourages children to recognize puzzle pieces
by their shape and graphical content, independent of size. Pieces lock
into place perfectly, and if placed incorrectly return to the pieces
area on the far right. The app features a special snap-in algorithm, so
that pieces automatically snap in to place when moved in to proximity of
their destination. On completion of the puzzle, a fanfare is heard and
all the pieces dissolve into a single, brightly colored image.
Another innovation in Cars and Friends - Puzzle Game for Boys is that
each of the 30 puzzles can be solved at one of three levels of
difficulty. At the Easy level the puzzle contains only six pieces, at
the Medium level there are 12 pieces, and at the Hard level the puzzle
consists of 16 pieces. In this way, kids can solve the same puzzle they
have become familiar with, again and again.
